The program
The University of Denver's Master of Arts in Global Economic Affairs, offered by the Josef Korbel School of Global and Public Affairs, is a multi-disciplinary, policy-focused examination of the global economy with its emphasis on political economy rather than economics as textbooks teach it. The bulletin requires 60 credits on campus over ten-week quarters: a Korbel core, a degree core in international trade, international monetary relations, and political economy, a twelve-credit specialization, a skills requirement in statistics and econometrics, a required internship, and supporting courses; a thesis or substantial research paper is optional.
“This program focuses on the interaction between economics and politics to provide a critical perspective on international trade, finance, and economic development policy.” — Josef Korbel School of Global and Public Affairs, Global Economic Affairs
