An eight-week immersion program, FPE Abroad is co-sponsored by the Department of Business and Economics and Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics, and Economics. Students earn eight credit hours in business and economics and/or international relations courses while studying the interaction of political and economic policy, the effects of globalization on human flourishing, and the economic well being of countries. As part of the course work, student teams develop and present guided, corporate-level research. More >

Alumni Highlight
"I was shaped very heavily by both the HNGR program, as well as by challenging economics courses like Economic Growth and Development and Health Economics. I was most heavily influenced by a few outstanding professors and staff from the Business and Economics Department who challenged me to take principles I saw throughout both Scripture and the study of economics and combine them into a worldview and actions that could have a real impact on people around me." - Andy Koetz '14
