The international trade and development minor offers a range of courses on trade, international finance, and the economics of developing countries. You’ll have the opportunity to study macroeconomics issues in trade and finance and microeconomics issues rooted in Cornell’s long tradition as a leader in international agriculture.
After completing courses in introductory economics, your elective courses can focus on topics such as the economics of food and agriculture, policy analysis, political economies, and research methods related to international development and emerging markets.
All Cornell undergraduates except students enrolled in Dyson. Students are eligible to sign up for the minor as early as their first year and no later than their sixth semester.
All courses must be taken for a letter grade and a grade of a C or better is required.
