Joint Degree Programs

The University of Pennsylvania has placed a special emphasis on developing joint degree programs with an international bias. Current offerings include the following:

The Huntsman Program

The Huntsman Program in International Studies & Business, a unique four-year undergraduate course of study, integrates business education, advanced language training and a liberal arts education. Huntsman students graduate with a professional education and an understanding of the political, economic and cultural complexities in the world. They are able to work effectively in the global economy of the 21st century.

Huntsman graduates earn two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies from the School of Arts and Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Wharton School.

The Lauder Institute

The Lauder Institute's MBA/MA program prepares graduate students to excel in international business. Lauder combines an outstanding management education with intensive exposure to a foreign country's culture, politics, economy, and language. Students may specialize in one of four areas: East Asia, Europe, Latin America, or North America. During the 24-month program students spend roughly 25 percent of their time abroad, beginning with a cultural immersion program prior to the start of their Wharton classes, and including a summer internship with a multinational company requiring extensive use of a foreign language.

Lauder graduates earn an MBA from the Wharton School and an MA in International Studies from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts and Sciences.
