Admission Requirements
In order to be admitted to the program, a student must hold a 4-year bachelor degree with a minimum major average of B- (70%) or an average of B+ (77%) or better in the last 2 years of study. Applicants must have at least one undergraduate course in statistics, and introductory-level courses in microeconomics and macroeconomics. In exceptional cases, students not meeting these requirements can be admitted at the discretion of the Program Coordinator after consultation with the Advisory Board. In addition, two semesters of calculus, and a semester of intermediate microeconomics and macroeconomics are highly recommended, but not required.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to have a demonstrated background in economics and mathematical and statistical foundations. Admission is highly competitive and preference will be given to applicants who exceed the minimum requirements and who have demonstrated work experience in the field. Candidates who lack the recommended background may be considered for admission on a case by case basis.
Candidates must demonstrate English proficiency by meeting or exceeding an IELTS score of 6.5 (or equivalent). If an applicant receives an English language proficiency score of less than 6.5 (or equivalent) they may be offered a conditional letter of acceptance pending successful completion of an approved English Language Training program, such as the University of Windsor’s Centre for English Language Development’s English Language Improvement Program (ELIP), or submitting a successful English language test score.
Applicants must pass a successful interview with representative or agent acting on behalf of the University of Windsor.
