The Master of Arts in Politics, Economics and Business (M.A.P.E.B.) is a unique transdisciplinary degree program (48 units required) that provides a cutting-edge perspective on local and international concerns. At Claremont, we are in the enviable position of having a strong level of cooperation and synergy between the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management and the School of Politics and Economics. This collaboration enables our students to successfully engage in multi-disciplinary study. While surrounding business schools and universities largely focus on each of these disciplines in isolation, at CGU we have found that studying the interrelations between fields is crucial to broader understanding and future opportunities. In this innovative degree program that draws expertise from politics, business, and economics, students gain a blend of analytical skill, practical experience, and technical training useful in many environments. Politics responds to and shapes the environment in which business operates and provides useful information about the processes and impacts of decisions. Knowledge of the fundamentals of economics and business provides the student with a comparative advantage when competing for key employment opportunities in the private, public, and research environments. The analytical tools we provide in economics and statistics are increasingly fundamental to success in a variety of positions in business, government, and non-profit organizations.
