Discussion:
In the concentration in international economics you
will be introduced to a wide variety of economic concepts and you will learn to
apply these concepts in ways that will help you better understand international
economic relations. Because it shares a common core with the other
concentrations in economics, it offers a program of study consistent with many career
objectives, be they graduate study in economics, law or MBA programs, and/or
employment in a specific field such as international business. As described above, students in the
concentration in international economics are required to take 34 hours of courses
in the major and 7 hours outside it. Of the 34 hours in the major, 3 are
elective. Though the set of courses that can be used to fulfill the
requirements for the Concentration in International Economics is smaller than
the set that can fulfill the requirements for the Concentration in General
Economics, enough flexibility is built in to allow you to design a course of
study that best meets your interests and needs. Keep in
mind that every course is not offered every semester. See an economics faculty member
to confirm that the courses you'd like to take are offered the semesters you'd
like to take them.
To learn how other students have successfully navigated their way through the
Concentration in International Economics' required and elective courses, an economics faculty member.
