* For students who entered SIPA after fall 2009, please see the updated IFEP Curriculum page.
The IEP curriculum studies the theory, formulation, institutional history and track record of international trade policies and international monetary relations. The IEP concentration trains students in economic, empirical, political and institutional analysis of international economic policymaking. The concentration has three tracks: international trade, international monetary relations, and international political economy. Undergraduate coursework in economics and political science are recommended but not essential for incoming students.
The IEP concentration is appropriate preparation for careers in business, management consulting, financial institutions, government, central banking and international organizations. Some students also use the IEP concentration as a first step toward pursing a PhD in economics or political science.
