Gordon Bodnar, Director Economics is a fundamental part of the SAIS academic program. The importance of economics in the curriculum is one of the features that sets SAIS apart from other schools of international affairs. As part of the Masters of Arts in International Relations, all students must complete a concentration in international economics consisting of 6 courses. The curriculum in international economics is intended to provide students with both a solid understanding of economic concepts and an understanding of how economics plays an important role in many issues of international affairs. This training in economics provides sufficient knowledge to allow students to work effectively on international matters in either the public or private sectors of international affairs.
