MA in Global Economic Affairs - Geographic Areas in Denver United States | University of Denver

Global Economic Affairs breaks away from traditional economics programs. We've removed the flashy yet impractical theoretical models found in standard textbooks, concentrating instead on real-world economic systems. This program emphasizes political economy—the intricate relationships between economic forces, political systems, and policy decisions. Students in Global Economic Affairs gain the tools to analyze and address modern economic dilemmas. The curriculum covers international trade and finance, how global trends influence domestic policies, factors affecting economic growth, inequality, and environmental sustainability, corporate roles in global issues, and other critical economic topics. The program bridges theory with practical applications while balancing analytical and empirical approaches.
