ANNOUNCEMENT:
NEW SPECIALIZATION FIELD IN FINANCIAL ECONOMICS AVAILABLE FALL 2014
I am pleased to tell you that the Senate of the University of Guelph has approved the introduction of a new finance specialization in our MA (Economics) program. You are part of the first cohort eligible to apply to enter what will be an elite and very challenging stream. Students who complete this field will obtain the degree designation MA (Economics-Finance). I am writing to explain what the new program will involve and to invite you to consider being a member of the inaugural class.
Briefly, the special features of the new MA (Economics-Finance) will include the following:
 A more intensive course load in the fall semester
 In the winter semester, a special seminar on Security Analysis and Portfolio Management open only
to students in the Finance specialization
 Comprehensive training in theoretical and empirical approaches to financial economics
 In the summer semester, an option to undertake either a supervised research project under academic
faculty or to do a supervised work placement (unpaid) at a financial research firm. The full program description is as follows.
 Fall Semester: 4 (0.5-weight) course credits:
o ECON*6000 Microeconomic Theory I (0.5) o ECON*6140 Econometrics I (0.5)
o ECON*6380 Financial Economics (0.5)
o ECON*6320 International Finance (0.5)
 Winter Semester 3 (0.5-weight) course credits
o ECON*6390 Empirical Finance and Financial Econometrics (0.5)
o ECON*6930 Seminar in Security Analysis and Portfolio Management (0.5) o One of:
ECON*6100 Experimental Economics and Finance or ECON*6490 Money and Banking or
ECON*6020 Macroeconomic Theory I
University of Guelph Guelph Ontario, Canada N1G 2M5
 Summer Semester: Research Component
o ECON*6xxx Financial Research Project (0.5)
(The course number for the summer research project will be assigned in the near future).
In this first year we will only accept a maximum of FIVE students into the Finance stream. If you are interested in being one of this select group, here are some additional factors you should consider.
 Students who already have a financial package as part of their MA offer will need to relinquish it for a revised package associated with the Finance stream. Due to the intense coursework, students in the finance stream will not be eligible to hold a Graduate Teaching Assistantship in the fall semester. Finance students will be offered a $1,000 scholarship upon entering the program, and those who finish the fall semester with an A average will be eligible for an Academic Excellence Prize of $1,000, and will be permitted to apply for a GTA in the winter semester (subject to availability). Otherwise, students in the finance stream need to be prepared to fund their own program.
 Note, for comparison, that Masters in Financial Economics programs at University of Toronto, Western and York typically charge above-market tuition in excess of $50,000, whereas this year the Guelph program will only charge standard domestic and foreign tuition fees (approximately $9,000 and $19,000 respectively).
 Note also that the Guelph MA (Economics-Finance) contains more economic theory and econometrics than many leading Masters in Finance programs, so students completing this intensive stream will not only be well-prepared for jobs in the finance area but also will be fully qualified to seek admission to Ph.D. programs in finance and economics should they desire further study.

两个funding有不同，regular：Students are eligible for a funding package that may include one or more Graduate Teaching Assistantships plus merit-based bursaries.

Finance stream： Due to the demanding course load students in this stream are not eligible to hold Graduate Teaching Assistantships, and consequently they will be required to cover the costs of this program from their own funds. Students will be offered an admission bursary of up to $1000 based on merit. Students who maintain an A average in the fall semester will be given a $1,000 Academic Excellence Prize and will be eligible to apply for a GTA in the winter semester.

楼主已经拿到regular offer funding 16K。 请问各位大神，有必要转去finance stream么？
