International economics programs and courses help students begin or further their careers in business and management. A large number of international economics graduates find positions in retail businesses, government institutions or large corporations once they’ve completed their studies.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
