1. Managing your Course Load<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is important to manage your course load, as the MA program is challenging but short. Remember to utilize your professor\u2019s office hours and contacting them when you have difficulty with topics in your courses. Your professors are here to help you, and they won\u2019t know you don\u2019t understand topics in the course unless you vocalize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our department has prepared some sample course plans. Please visit the course plans for MA Students page here<\/a>. If you want a customized course plan or have difficulty and need some assistance with course planning, please email our department, economics@carleton.ca<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
