The purpose of the functional emphasis requirement is to ensure that graduates of the program have functional as well as international expertise. The emphasis can consist of course work in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management or Marketing as described in items (1) and (3) under “Course Requirement” above. Alternatively, candidates can have a functional emphasis in International Trade and Policy. Those pursuing this functional emphasis would take IB 520-International Trade, IB 521-International Macroeconomics and either IB 525-Economics of Underdeveloped Countries or IB 798- International Policy Analysis. These three courses would replace the requirements in (1) and (3) above.
