During the past year, the US
trade deficit ballooned to over $800 billion dollars, China was accused
of flooding foreign markets with dangerous
products while Chinese foreign

dollar value reached all time lows against the euro, crude
oil prices topped $80 per barrel, a mortgage

As the international economy becomes increasingly interconnected, corporations,
financial institutions, government agencies, consulting companies and NGOs,
who all are seeking to thrive in our dynamic, ever-changing world, are looking
to hire professionals with a solid understanding of these complex interrelationships.
The International Trade and Investment Policy (ITIP) program is a professional
masters degree program designed to train the next generation of global
leaders. All students complete an interdisciplinary core
curriculum spanning political science, history and international economics
coupled with proficiency in a foreign language. ITIP’s distinction is
its emphasis on international trade theory and policy, international finance
theory and policy, and quantitative analysis involving basic econometrics.

business.
