International Policy

The International Policy concentration is designed to prepare new professionals for international opportunities in an accelerating world economy. Working closely with interdisciplinary faculty from Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Agricultural and Resource Economics, and other departments and colleges, this concentration prepares students for positions in international settings through a range of policy analysis tools and cross-cultural competencies. Working closely with OSU International Programs and the International Comparative Rural Policy Studies Consortium, the International Policy concentration helps students planning to study, conduct research, or arrange internships in other countries.
