The B.A. degree in International Economic Affairs is a multidisciplinary undergraduate degree. The International Economic Affairs program offers a broad liberal arts education with careful attention to international economics, foreign language skills, geography, cultural anthropology, history, political science, and sociology. The major serves its graduates by providing them with both the skills necessary to secure employment upon graduation and the broad conceptual and analytical abilities that will give them the flexibility needed for personal and professional growth.
The B.A. degree in International Economic Affairs serves students who want a background in international affairs and international economics. The program is designed to stand alone as a major and also serve as a second major for students earning a B.A. in other areas, such as foreign languages. Graduates from all three Economics majors (B.B.A., B.S., and B.A.) find jobs in management training programs, banking, real estate, stock brokerage, and journalism to name a few. Majoring in Economics is also excellent preparation for graduate study in business, law, or the social sciences.
