马上申请

“International political economy is an amazing 主要 that isn’t offered in many other schools. It is for those students who wish to dive into international relations, 政治, 和 even the business realm.”

最喜欢的课程

“My favorite class at Carthage so far has been Introduction to International Relations with 教授essor Jeffrey Roberg. 教授. Roberg also heads the Model UN, so having him in class helps build on my knowledge of the world 和 its many actors. 我不会说谎, this class is incredibly challenging as it is all new subject content, but his humor 和 evident love for the topic give me the inspiration I need to complete the coursework. It is definitely a pleasure to be in his class.”

Golden opportunities

“I attended the Singapore J-Term study tour focusing on the biology 和 the history of Singapore with 教授essor Stephen Udry教授essor Andrea Henle. As someone who loves traveling, I wish to take advantage of the study tours that are open to everyone. With Carthage offering such a wide variety of study tour programs, I plan to travel abroad all four years I attend college.”

Internships or campus employment

“I have an on-campus job working for the Office of Marketing 和 Communications, which entails a lot of research into the Carthage community 和 its students. While I am not a 市场营销 or 沟通 主要, I always love to learn more about the different facets of business as that may be my career path outside of college. Additionally, I cover the new School of Business 和 Economics, which allows me to network with the faculty for my international political economy (IPE) 主要, 和 seek out opportunities for me to get involved beyond the classroom.”

职业目标

“I would love to work for the U.S. Department of State in Foreign Affairs, preferably in one of the U.S.-China embassies. I’d also love to be an economic Foreign Service Officer or diplomat. Travel is one of my many passions, so I want to focus my future career in a sector where I could not only travel, but also engage heavily with the 文化 和 communities of the places I go.”

Advice for other students in your 主要?

“My advice for students is to never pare down your interests for fear of time constraints. I started at Carthage triple 主要ing 和 triple minoring because I was interested in so many things. 如果稍后, you need to drop a 主要 or minor, it’s better to have tried 和 explored your interests than to have restricted yourself.”

What would your 8-year-old self think of you now?

“My 8-year-old self was a nerd who always had her head in books — I am sure she’d be insanely surprised to see that I am pursuing a career outside of librarian studies. But she’d be happy to know that it was precisely because of how much I read that got me interested in my current education. Reading books based in different regions of the world, 文化, 和 languages led me to pursue an international career.”
