As an Economics major or minor, you can:

• Participate in an internship abroad for academic credit.
• Begin or continue studying a foreign language of interest.
• Explore a variety of courses that count towards your core requirements, related courses, and electives.
• Select a program with subject offerings in multiple areas of study as a double major.
• Explore courses outside of your regular field of study.
• Participate in a faculty-led, exchange, affiliated or short-term program.
• Take specialty courses in world economics not available at UConn.
• Engage in academic research abroad.
• Develop international contacts to benefit your professional career.

Economics courses align easily because of the standardized nature of the subject around the world. Students will find opportunities to fulfill major requirements in many approved programs, especially at exchanges.

Students aren’t required to take Economics courses while abroad. Working with your Academic Advisor and Dr. Langlois will help you to determine what classes you need during your term abroad. Students are encouraged to explore interests outside of their major field of study through Experiential Global Learning.
