Joint Degree Master of Arts in International Studies (MAIS) & Master of Business Administration (MBA)
The Joint Degree MAIS/MBA Program enables students
to receive two separate diplomas: a Master of Arts in International
Studies (MAIS) degree and a Master of Business Administration (MBA)
degree. However, the Joint MAIS/MBA Degree Program allows students in
the joint degree program to count up to 22 units of course work
completed in the MAIS program to be counted toward completion of the
MBA degree. Thus, students can complete all requirements for both
degrees in as little as two years of full-time study compared to 3+
years for the MBA and MAIS programs if taken separately.
The Master of Arts in International Studies (MAIS)
degree has concentrations in International Business and International
Education alongside a 12-month internship in the People’s Republic of
China (PRC). Only students in the International Business concentration
are eligible for the Joint MAIS/MBA Degree Program. There are 34
units of coursework in the MAIS program.
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is
composed of approximately one year of core courses and one year of
elective courses, all taken part time while working. The courses for
the MBA will be offered at Concordia University’s Irvine campus in
California. There are 40 units of coursework in the MBA program.
This is a joint degree program which would include the coursework
for the MAIS degree (International Business concentration) and the core
MBA courses. As opposed to the 74 units required for both programs
taken separately, the Joint MAIS/MBA Degree Program is approximately 52
units total.
The number of continuing students accepted into the joint degree
program may be limited by the availability of space in the MAIS and MBA
degree programs. In keeping with the academic standards required for
the joint degree program, continuing students must have a graduate
Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 3.0 to be considered for the
joint degree program. For students who have only completed one term of
course work in their first degree, admission to the joint degree
program may be made conditional on the satisfactory completion of a
second term of course work and the maintenance of a 3.0 GPA.
General Academic Information and Regulations
Students in the Joint MAIS/MBA Degree Program must fulfill the
requirements of both degrees. Students are expected to work with
program directors or coordinators in each degree program to ensure that
all requirements are completed.
