MBA/MA in Latin American Studies Dual Degree

This Dual Degree Program allows students to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the Belk College of Business and a Master of Arts in Latin American Studies degree from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Students are expected to meet the admission requirements of both programs to participate in the MBA/MA in Latin American Studies Dual Degree program. This includes a reading knowledge of Spanish. Students from Latin American Studies who desire to pursue the dual degree are only permitted to select the comprehensive exam option, so no thesis would be required. The combined program (outlined below) would consist of 52 credit hours of course work.
