“Every student of economics should seriously consider EAP. Studying abroad allows students to learn about the field of economics from an international perspective, developing a deeper understanding not only of the implications of increasing globalization, but also of how differences in political and other institutions matter for economic outcomes. Students sharpen their cross-cultural communication and problem-solving skills, making them better prepared for whatever careers they choose to pursue.”

Through EAP, you observe different economic systems, issues, and policies in action and witness how other countries are responding to an increasingly interrelated economic world. At the same time, you can take advantage of unique course work and gain exposure to various schools of thought in the discipline of economics. All of this will help you obtain the broader perspectives, knowledge, and skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing global economy.
