International Economics and International Relations (B.S.)

ECIR: BS in International Economics and International Relations.

This program expands Diplomacy’s partnership with the Economics department into a full-fledged integrated degree. This program keeps the common elements of the Diplomacy undergraduate experience (required foreign language, Diplomacy internship, research methods, and Senior Project) but adds a stronger Economics focus of at least eight courses totaling 24 credits.   

Economics is a very popular double major for Diplomacy students, and an integrated degree offers several advantages over a conventional double major. The common curriculum means that we avoid the problem of needing to remind students and advisors what the current substitutions are between the two programs. The integrated degree also makes it easier for students to accommodate the Honors program or develop a minor.
