Take Your Understanding of How the World Works to the Next Level

The study of international economics is not just about business. Truly grasping how the global economy works in a modern society starts with understanding geography, culture, and the natural world. At GC, our courses discuss international management issues, explore environmental issues, and examine societal problems alongside basic supply and demand models. Furthermore, our May term courses in China, Ecuador, and Spain offer a first-hand look at how goods are produced, and trades are made in various cultural contexts to help students develop critical thinking and professional development.

Students minoring in global economics will encounter class topics including globalization and international trade, economic development, intermediate macroeconomics, national income, environmental economics, the global economy, financial markets and institutions, and others. You’ll gain a global understanding of economic thought and a deep understanding of current economic issues.
