M.A.-M.B.A. Degree

Students seeking admission into the dual degree program must meet the admission requirements of each program, although their application may include GMAT scores in lieu of GRE scores. Acceptance into one program does not guarantee acceptance into the other.

Dual degree students count 9 credits of coursework in each program toward the required coursework credits of the other program. Thus, 9 of the 40 credits required for the M.B.A. degree will come from POSC courses, and 9 of the 30 credits required for the POSC or INAF M.A. degree will come from Business Administration (BUAD) or related courses.

Candidates for admission to the dual programs must submit applications to both of the programs sponsoring the dual degree. General admission requirements and applications procedures for both units apply to applicants to the program, except that in the case of the M.A.-J.D., the Department of Political Science will accept LSAT scores in lieu of GRE scores and in the case of the M.A.-M.B.A., the Department of Political Science will accept GMAT scores in lieu of GRE scores. Acceptance by one unit does not guarantee acceptance by the other. Students who are already admitted to or who have begun taking courses in any single program may still apply for the Dual Program.
