经济学哲学博士

You must hold, or reasonably expect to hold by September, a bachelor's degree for entry into the M.A. program or a master's degree in Economics for entry to the Ph.D. program, however, exceptional candidates holding a bachelor's degree will be considered for direct admission to Ph.D. 1 level. The minimum acceptable CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is 3.0 out of a possible 4.0, which is equivalent to ''B'' on a letter scale, or at least a 3.2/4.0 over the last two years of study. The University assesses degrees earned outside Canada to determine if they are equivalent to a McGill degree.

Math requirements.
To enter the MA or PhD programs you must have taken at least the following:
(a) two terms of calculus (differential and integral calculus, including constrained optimization methods, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, constrained optimization using the method of Lagrangian multipliers and Riemann integration),
(b) one term of matrix algebra (rank, inverse, eigenvalues, eigenvectors and quadratic forms),
(c) statistics: a full-year course in statistics from an economics or mathematics department.
To enter the QY you should at a minimum be familiar with functions, limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration. If you enter the QY program without the mathematics background specified under (a) and (b), you must be prepared to take both math and economics courses as part of your QY program.

If your degree is not in Economics.
An Honours B.A. in Economics is the normal requirement, although students holding an ordinary B.A., whether in economics or another discipline, may also be eligible for admission. Students judged by the admissions committee to have deficiencies in their preparation in economics may be admitted to a Qualify Year in which they undertake advanced economics honours-level undergraduate work. Admission to the QY does not imply an exemption from GRE. The minimum preparation is a full year of intermediate macroeconomics, microeconomics, and statistics, two semesters of introductory calculus and one semester of linear algebra.
