International study is a key component of the Business and Political Economy degree. Your cross-continent experiences will give you in-depth knowledge of business, politics, and economics in different cultures. To foster a unique global perspective, the BPE program includes two full semesters of global study at NYU's campuses in London and Shanghai during your sophomore year. You may also spend an optional third semester away at an NYU global site of your choice.
