MA in Global Economic Affairs - Policy Analysis in Denver United States | University of Denver

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 analyze today's most urgent and complicated economic issues. The curriculum covers international trade and finance, how global economic trends influence domestic politics, factors behind economic growth, inequality, and environmental sustainability, business's role in international relations and corporate ethics, along with other critical economic topics. The program connects theoretical concepts with practical policy and institutional frameworks, balancing both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
