This dual degree program allows students to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA)  degree from the College of Business and a Master of Arts in Latin American Studies  degree from the College of Liberal Arts & 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.
