Academic Program

This 96-unit dual degree program combines PhD level research and coursework with a slightly abbreviated MBA curriculum, providing a comprehensive examination of the global economy from both business and social science perspectives. Students qualify for competitive careers in various fields, including the non-profit sector, the corporate arena, governmental organizations, and consulting companies. Students in this program want to cultivate themselves as individuals as well as professionals skilled in the various facets of today’s complex modern economy.

 

Degree Requirements

Graduates earn both a PhD in Economics with the MBA. The program requires a total of 96 units of coursework, including approximately half from the School of Politics and Economics and half from the Peter F.Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management. Pursued as a dual degree, students save approximately 32 units of coursework, equivalent to an extra year and a half of full-time study. Students interested in the PhD/MBA dual degree program must apply and be accepted jointly to both schools prior to the completion of their first 16 units of study at CGU.
