Master’s programs in economics in Canada
30 programs at 29 Canadian universities. Every field below is transcribed from the university’s own page, linked on each row; a dash means that page does not state it, and a plus means the source says more than the cell shows. Ordered by RePEc/IDEAS, Top Institutions in Canada (June 2026), which covers only the top quarter of Canadian institutions — no number means unranked by it, not ranked last. Deadlines change every year — confirm on the official page before you rely on one.
