The Master of Arts in Business Economics (MABE) prepares students for careers as professional economists in the private or public sector by combining business economics with training in economic theory, quantitative methods, and applied research. The nine-course program comprises four required core courses, three electives chosen from economics courses, MBA electives, or Master of International Public Policy courses, and a Master Research Paper and Seminar equivalent to two courses. Full-time study takes twelve months; a co-op option extends the program to sixteen to twenty months depending on the length of the work term. Classes are delivered in person on the Waterloo campus, with intake each September. Admission requires a four-year honours (or equivalent) undergraduate degree in economics or a related field with a minimum B average, plus prior coursework in calculus, statistics, econometrics with regression analysis, and two courses each in intermediate microeconomic and macroeconomic theory. The program is AACSB accredited and endorsed by the Canadian Association for Business Economics.
