Overview

The M.A. program in International Trade and Investment Policy (ITIP) trains students in critical areas of the economics, politics and history of international trade as well as econometrics and additional specialized training in international economics or international business. Coursework in these fields focuses on U.S. trade policy, the effects of international trade on developing countries, emerging market financial crises, and managing firms in developing countries. The program culminates in a one-semester capstone project in which students work in small teams on a contemporary policy problem.

Our world-class faculty conducts research on international trade, finance, and macroeconomic issues, as well as the politics and history of international economics. These scholars and practitioners bring to the classroom their intimate knowledge of international economic affairs garnered from their work as consultants and advisors at institutions such as the International Trade Commission, the White House, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Department of the Treasury.
