International Programs & Exchanges

Don't limit yourself to the departmental exchanges!  Economics majors study all over the world through the International Programs & Exchanges Office.  Economics courses taken through these exchanges must be evaluated by the department for possible economics credit.  Click here to visit the IPE webpages or visit their office in Schmitz 516.

Departmental Exchanges

There are many departments that offer study abroad programs open to all majors.  English, CHID and language departments are some examples.  Students interested in studying abroad should explore departmental websites, visit advising offices and check their email.  When the Department receives information on departmental study abroad programs, we send the information to students through the econmaj listserve (for instructions on subscribing to econmaj, click here).
