A Career-Oriented Curriculum
The 40-credit M.A. program in International Trade and Investment Policy includes:
- A Core Field (15 credits) that provides a fundamental understanding of international economics from a multidisciplinary perspective. The core includes a quantitative methods requirement to ensure the ability to analyze economic data (see below).
- A Major Field (12 credits) that allows students to specialize and develop marketable skills in one of the following three areas:
- International Economic Policy Analysis
- International Business
- Development Economics
- Elective course work (12 credits) provides students a further opportunity to develop skills and expand knowledge necessary to succeed in a competitive world. For example, students can use these credits for additional study in accounting and finance, economic analysis, history and political science courses focused on a region, foreign language study (up to 6 credits) or special one-credit skills courses (up to 3 credits)
- A capstone course (1 credit) in the final spring semester of the program tests students’ abilities to address a policy problem using the skills and knowledge acquired in their program of study.
- A language proficiency requirement in a modern foreign language. The ability to communicate across cultures in more than one language is a distinguishing and expected skill of the international affairs professional. Therefore, completion of the M.A. in International Trade and Investment Policy requires a demonstrated oral and reading proficiency in a modern foreign language.
- Students must have completed intermediate micro- and macroeconomics courses prior to receiving the International Trade and Investment Policy degree.
