The Master of Arts in Applied Economics (MAE) at the University of Winnipeg addresses significant questions such as the economic impact of climate change, healthcare system improvements, cannabis regulation, risk diversification in the modern economy, and economic development in First Nations, Metis, and Inuit communities. 

As an MAE student, you will gain proficiency in economic analysis and apply this knowledge to contemporary policy issues in Canada and abroad. The program covers various fields, including regulation, healthcare, environmental policy, poverty, labor issues, and finance. 

With a growing demand for professional economists equipped with strong analytical skills and practical policy knowledge, the MAE program prepares students for careers in public, private, and nongovernmental sectors. Typically completed in one year, the program offers a general degree or concentrations in Policy Analysis or Environmental, Resource, and Development Economics. Graduates can work as researchers and practitioners in the private, public, nongovernmental and not-for-profit sectors, both in Canada and around the world.
