About the
Major in Global Political Economy
From the Euro
to the yen, today's global economy operates in a climate
of change. Factors such as politics, international
regulation, and governmental regimes all weigh heavily
on the effects of economies regionally and worldwide.
The global political economy major
teaches students to understand globalization and the
role the state plays, as well as market strategies
for corporations and their corporate identities. Graduates
pursue careers in such fields as international regulation,
commerce development, and sometimes private business.
Recent GPE graduates include a treasury
expert with the Republic of Turkey ,
a project manager specialist for the U.S. Agency
for International Development's Mission in Moscow
, a presidential management fellow with the U.S. Department
of Commerce, and a
United Nations Fulbright Fellow with the Department
of Social and Economic Affairs.
Courses
target competencies in finance, economics, international
trade, and
development. If they choose, students may broaden
their coursework through cross registration with other
programs. For example, a student interested in developing
expertise in antitrust issues might want to pursue
a dual degree with the School of Law .
Our program
covers a broad range of student interests, whether
in the work of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs),
specific geographic regions, political climates such
as post-Communist states, the role of women in developing
countries, or any number of other topics. The typical
GPE student is well-traveled and possesses a strong
interest in area studies, for which we offer several
certificate programs as well as internships.
If you are
idealistic, curious about the world, and eager to
put your vision into practice with the benefit of
a top-notch education drawing from many academic disciplines,
