Building upon the University’s unique cultural-environmental setting and its distinctive Latin American role, an integrated interdisciplinary program leading to the Master of Arts (M.A.) in Latin American Studies and Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) Dual Degree Program is offered cooperatively by the Robert O. Anderson Graduate School of Management and the Latin American Studies program. This Dual Degree Program is designed to prepare outstanding individuals for a diversity of dynamic and productive careers throughout the world in businesses, governments, private and governmental foundations, consulting firms, and other institutions with emphases on Latin America.

Students must come into the program with two years of undergraduate coursework, or its equivalent, in Spanish and Portuguese. Applicants must satisfy the requirements of both graduate programs. Those planning to enter this Dual Degree Program are urged to consult with the M.B.A. program office at the Anderson School of Management and with the Latin American Studies program.

The Dual Degree Program reduces requirements to complete the two degrees by approximately 12 credit hours, to a minimum of 57 credit hours and a maximum of 72 credit hours past the Bachelor’s, depending on the number of waivers granted by the Anderson School of Management for core requirements.

• 24 credit hours of Latin American Studies courses, including a minimum of 9 credit hours in each of two concentrations. The remaining 3 credit hours may be used for thesis (under Plan I) or electives (under Plan II).
• 48 credit hours of Management courses, including 30 core credit hours from: MGMT 501, 502, 504, 506, 508, 511, 520, 522, 526, 598, and 18 credit hours of elective management courses.

If the student is eligible to waive some of the core MGMT courses (with the exception of MGMT 598), a total of 33 credit hours must be completed for the M.B.A./Management component.
