Economics B.A. with a Concentration in International Politics and Policy

The B.A. in Economics provides a basis for professional work in business and government or for graduate study. In addition, the B.A. in Economics complements many other areas of study, such as agriculture and natural resources, business, computer science, political science, history or mathematics, as part of a double major. The International Politics and Policy concentration is intended for students who are interested in the intersection of economics and policy and have interests in studying economics in a broad international context. This concentration is ideal for students interested in pursuing double majors in political science or history and working in governmental or non-governmental international organizations. In terms of graduate study, this concentration would be more suited to a law degree or Master’s degree programs in public policy, international relations, diplomacy or economic development. Students should consult with their academic adviser for help in determining which concentration will best suit their goals for future study or career.
