<p>You do not need full economics degree to get in but you’ll usually enough math (multiple integration calculus, linear algebra, differential equation; preferrably a course in real analysis), and preferrably a year of econometrics and intermediate macro/micro econ to be a strong candidate.</p>
<p>On the other than, this is what “international political economy” gets you:
[GU</a> - SFS - BSFS: IPEC > Requirements](<a href=“http://www3.georgetown.edu/sfs/bsfs/majors/IPEC/requirements/requirements2005.html]GU”>http://www3.georgetown.edu/sfs/bsfs/majors/IPEC/requirements/requirements2005.html)</p>
<p>Math requirement is just calculus one (for class of 20005, even a “short course in calculus”, aka calculus for dummies, is sufficient).
Even introductory macroeconomics isn’t required.</p>
<p>The course list:

There doesn’t seem to be anything that looks hardcore. These course titles remind me of economics section not in university library but in barnes & noble.</p>
<p>In fact, I am taking a managerial economcis course and this girl who has a master in “political economy” and is working with the State department told me our text book is difficult to read. The reason? Too quantitative and too many equations when actually the equations are already presented in non-calculus and calculus versions side by side for those without any calculus background.</p>
