Virginia Tech / Thunderbird Dual Degree Program
MBA / Master of International Management
"International management education is becoming increasingly important in business," says Richard E. Sorensen, Dean of the Pamplin College. By offering a dual degree, we can enhance the educational opportunities available to students who are particularly interested in the global aspects of business while making optimal use of the resources and facilities of both our institutions.
A dual degree program allows students to complete the MIM and MBA programs in a shorter period of time than would be the case if the two degrees were independently completed.
Students enrolled in this program attend courses at both Virginia Tech and Thunderbird University. At the end of the combined program, successful students will receive both the Master of International Management and the Master of Business Administration degrees. The program requires that students apply and be accepted at both schools. Upon matriculation in the Pamplin MBA Program, a student can apply for dual degree status through the Pamplin Graduate and International Programs Office.
Programs require that dual degree students complete a minimum of 33 semester hours in the Pamplin MBA Program and 30 trimester hours at Thunderbird. Participants must meet the graduation requirements of each degree.
