1. Students electing to complement their regional concentration with an Emerging Markets specialization
must fulfill the requirements of their geographic specialization in one of the following regional programs:
- Africa
- Middle East
- Western Hemisphere / Latin America
- Russia and Eurasia
- Asia: China / South Asia / Southeast Asia
- In addition to satisfying the requirements for these programs (typically six courses), students must take two courses in regional programs outside their area of concentration.
- Some departments may allow students to take one of their six required courses outside their regional specialization. Students should consult with their regional program directors.
- Students who concentrate in International Development and other functional areas and who wish to add the Emerging Markets Specialization are welcome to contact Professor Sobol to discuss a possible course program.
