International Markets and Development
The International Markets and Development Minor is built on Cornell’s long tradition of research on global markets and the development of emerging economies, as well as engagement with global research partners, and organizations. The curriculum brings faculty and students together to study and address pressing questions facing emerging economies. The minor is distinctive in that the curriculum reflects an emphasis on international experience, as well as opportunities to participate in research projects with faculty. This minor is ideal for students interested in a career in global business, consulting, advanced research and development of emerging markets.
