Global Economic Affairs breaks away from traditional economics programs. We've removed the flashy yet impractical economic theories found in textbooks, concentrating instead on real-world economic systems. This program emphasizes political economy—the intricate relationships between economics, politics, and policymaking. Students in Global Economic Affairs gain the tools to understand and address today's most critical economic issues. They study international trade and monetary systems, how global economic trends influence domestic politics, the factors behind economic growth, inequality, and sustainability, business's role in international relations, corporate social responsibility, and other essential economic topics. The curriculum connects theory with practical policy and institutional frameworks, balancing qualitative and quantitative approaches.
