A Wide Range of Career Options
FLIE Program prepares students for a future in government, international relations, law, research, multinational corporations, diplomacy, banking, and local industries who conduct business internationally. Economists are able to interpret and forecast general economic conditions, estimate trends, analyze data, and use economic theory to help their organization operate more efficiently. Combine those skills with the ability to communicate professionally in another language, and opportunities abound! Our students have gone on to a variety of fields. They are working at the IRS (economist), at Transition Networks (international account manager), Alltech (Asia-Pacific marketing coordinator), the German Embassy in Washington, D.C. (media analyst), CSX (manager of environmental sustainability partnerships) and Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland (economist). They have also pursued advanced degrees at institutions such as the London School for Economics, Columbia University, University of California, New York University and Johns Hopkins.
