Major in International Political Economy
Interested in declaring
International Political Economy (with Political Science)?
To get started with this (and any of our department majors), students will need our gateway courses of Principles of Economics, either as a 2-block course (EC100) or as two separate blocks (EC101 and EC102). If students already took EC201, that counts in place of the two units of Principles of Economics.) Students will also need Calculus (MA125 or MA126).
