GENERAL ECONOMICS WITH INTERNATIONAL SPECIALIZATION (NO MINOR REQUIRED)
Many students want a broad background in the emerging global economy while others intend to pursue further studies in international business or work for government agencies or private firms focused on issues and problems of the global economy. A program of study in International Economics linked with a broad program in interdisciplinary international studies is required. Students are encouraged to take a foreign language and seek the BA rather than the BS degree.
Requirements
In addition to the General Education requirements for a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, students in this program of study are required to take, subject to approval by the department chairperson, the equivalent to a minor (minimum of 15 credit hours) from a broad range of courses emphasizing international aspects of the world from historical, political, geographical and other relevant perspectives (see graduation contract form available in the Economics Department for the current program of study). Because of the broad international flavor of the electives required, no separate minor will be required.
