The Master of Science in International Political Economy degree program prepares students to succeed in a wide range of careers that lie at the intersection of international politics and global economies. Taught by internationally recognized faculty at The University of Texas at Dallas, students will engage in rigorous coursework and develop the advanced training needed to thrive in international diplomatic and business sectors.
The program balances courses in international political economy " from the economics of public policy to the innovation economy " with those in either algebra- or calculus-based quantitative methods, such as applied regression, inferential statistics or multivariate analysis.
In addition to the required core courses, students have the opportunity to choose from a variety of exciting electives in four key areas:
- Development
- International Conflict and Security
- International Political Economy
- International Business and Public Policy
To meet the needs and demands of international diplomatic and business sectors, the program ensures that students develop advanced skills in areas that are key to any international organization: critical thinking, advanced research, effective communication and cross-cultural knowledge.
