MBA in International Development and M.A. in TESOL

In conjunction with your M.A. in the School of Intercultural Studies, you also have the opportunity to complete an MBA in International Development or Non-Profit Management or an M.A. in TESOL at partnering universities.  Students can complete dual degrees in less time by sharing up to one year of coursework.

MBA in International Development and M.A. ICS or M.A. CCS
A Dual Degree with Hope International University

MBA Program Highlights

    The MBA in International Development equips you with strong business and management skills. Community-based businesses, cooperatives and grassroots economic development organizations are studied alongside more conventional business environments in your own setting.  You’ll gain knowledge of the basis of development from a values-centered perspective along with business and management partnerships.

Joint Program Details

    Both degrees may be completed with 3 years of full-time study. The joint degree program will allow students to share up to 36-quarter units between the MBA program and the M.A. CCS or the M.A. ICS offered at Fuller. Hope International University offers three ways to take coursework for the MBA: through online courses, by distance learning, or on their campus in Fullerton, CA.
    You must apply and be admitted to both graduate schools.  Students interested in this program need to inform their SIS advisors at an early stage in their program so that they will enroll in the correct courses.
