Guidelines and Career Plans for the Major

Students aim to get a logical grasp of international economic events, analyze them empirically, and develop the ability to solve international economic problems.

This major has three main characteristics. The first is a class structure that balances theory and proof. The second is a class structure complete with topics related to international economics, particularly international finance, international trade, and economic development. The third is a class structure that allows students to start from an intermediate level of economics education. Through these features, working adults who have not studied economics in a long time, and those who did not study economics for their undergraduate degree, can enhance their understanding of international economics and their analytical skills, with a program designed to help them achieve their goals of applying their learning in a practical way. Career plans after receiving the master’s degree include working as analysts at private companies or think tanks, or continuing on the research path by entering a doctoral program or studying abroad. Students continuing on to doctoral studies later work as university instructors or as institutional researchers.
