CURRICULUM 29
INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS
The SAIS International Economics program is designed to provide students with an understanding
of the international economic system, enabling them to work effectively on international matters in
both the private and public sectors. The program offers four economic theory courses:
Microeconomics, International Trade Theory, Macroeconomics, International Monetary Theory,
as well as a wide range of other advanced and applied courses.
International Economics is one of the two required programs of concentration for every M.A.
candidate. In order to satisfy the economics concentration requirements students must achieve a
passing grade in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, International Trade Theory and International
Monetary Theory (or pass the corresponding waiver exam). In addition they must take at least two
other economics courses.
For detailed information on the economics requirement (for the M.A.), economics waiver exams,
and optional economics specializations, visit sais-jhu.edu/academics/economics.
