International Economic Policy is a disciplinary specialization within Carleton University's Bachelor of Global and International Studies (BGInS). The specialization gives students a general understanding of the economic forces invoked by government intervention, addressing economic globalization and international and public-sector economics through a relatively non-technical approach designed to let students from diverse academic backgrounds engage with policy challenges. Students must complete a second-language requirement, taken for example in Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish or American Sign Language, and an international-experience requirement fulfilled through study abroad, internships, courses abroad or group projects. A co-op option is available. Sample courses include Global History and Introduction to Economic Development. Graduates are prepared for roles at central banks, government finance ministries, trade policy institutions and financial regulatory agencies, and in diplomacy, policy analysis, international development and government.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Global and International Studies (Honours), which includes the Europe and Russia in the World and International Economic Policy specializations, requires the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent with six Grade 12 U or M courses, one of which must be 4U English (or anglais); an approved English-language proficiency test may substitute for this prerequisite. Students applying to the Specialization in French and Francophone Studies must additionally present a FIF4U course. All BGInS students complete a second-language requirement and an international-experience requirement (study abroad, an international internship, a Carleton course abroad, or an international group-project course) as part of the specialization, roughly equivalent in weight to a major within the BA (Honours). Advanced standing beyond first year is assessed on merit, requiring applicants to normally be Eligible to Continue in their year level and meet CGPA thresholds. Admission averages are determined each year on a program-by-program basis.
