MA in Global Economic Affairs - Development Economics and Policy in Denver United States | University of Denver

Global Economic Affairs breaks from traditional economics programs. We've replaced abstract textbook theories with practical insights into how economies truly function. This program emphasizes political economy – the dynamic interplay between economic forces, political systems, and policy decisions. Our curriculum equips students to tackle modern economic dilemmas, covering international trade, monetary systems, domestic political-economic dynamics, development drivers, inequality, sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and other critical issues. The program bridges theory with real-world policy applications, balancing qualitative and quantitative approaches.
