$57,660 /Yr
The International Economics program at American University Washington DC offers a rigorous combination of theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented courses in economics, political economy, and policymaking focused on international trade and finance.
It prepares students to analyze the most important issues in today’s global economy, including the macro- and microeconomic causes and consequences of trade and financial liberalization, exchange rate fluctuations, and capital-markets integration. The objective is to gain an in-depth understanding of the market, political, and other forces that have driven the economic globalization process, as well as the private and public actors and institutions shaping international trade and financial developments and policies.
During their course of study, students will learn how to use the state-of-the-art statistical software commonly used in applied economics research and policy analysis. The program culminates with a capstone experience in which students apply their knowledge to complete a project addressing a major issue in contemporary international economics.
The coursework in theory, policy and research methods, as well as the capstone experience, are designed to prepare students for careers in government agencies, industry associations, financial institutions, multinational corporations, economic consulting firms, think tanks, multilateral institutions, and non-governmental organizations – whether in the United States or abroad.
