International Economic Policy (IEP)

The International Economic Policy 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 policy making. 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 pursuing a PhD degree in political science.
