Bachelor of Arts in International Economics and Cultural Affairs

Valparaiso University

International Economics and Cultural Affairs (IECA) is an interdisciplinary major within the Global Studies B.A. program. IECA combines study of a world language and culture with internationally focused courses in economics, geography, history, and political science. Students select a regional emphasis (East Asia, Europe, or Latin America) which, in turn, determines the specific courses and language study the student will undertake.The IECA major is distinct from a major in international business because it is designed to prepare students for a variety of careers, from international commerce and banking to policy design and government service. It helps students to understand a particular region in all its complexity - cultural, political, and economic.
