The International Economics degree combines the strengths and expertise of an international affairs school and a traditional economics department. Students will gain an understanding of the forces that drive economic globalization and the actors that shape international trade and financial policy. INEC students graduate able to provide intuitive explanations of the implications of leading international economics models, understand macroeconomic and financial policies in the context of economic globalization, define the roles and policies of institutions governing international economic relations, and employ and interpret econometric models to answer empirical research questions.

The School of International Service (SIS) offers a dual master's degree program with Kogod School of Business, giving students the opportunity to acquire expertise in both international economics and business. This combination of skills is particularly valuable to international organizations trying to increase productivity through better business practices and to businesses adjusting to the global market. Graduates will receive an MA through SIS and an MBA through Kogod.

Generally, dual degree students will spend their first year taking core curriculum courses at Kogod, then spend their second and third years taking courses at both SIS and Kogod. Students must complete 31 credit hours at Kogod and 39 credit hours at SIS, with the option to count up to 9 credit hours from Kogod degree requirements towards SIS degree requirements.

Prospective MA/MBA students must separately apply to and be accepted by each school. The admissions committees from each school do not collaborate on the decision-making process.
