Student Activities in Spain

The objective of the program is to allow students to earn both a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the Instituto de Empresa and a MALD -- or a Master of Arts (MA) when applicable -- at Fletcher in two to two and a half years. The dual degree program is intended to prepare students for careers that combine international affairs and management. It is a particularly appropriate program for students who seek management responsibilities in international corporations, global financial institutions, international economic and development institutions, and government agencies. The need for individuals in such positions to have a sophisticated understanding of both international affairs and management issues in an increasingly complex and interdependent world is clear. The unique resources available at both schools can deliver that needed understanding and knowledge.

In addition to the joint degree program with the Instituto de Empressa, Fletcher has a one semester exchange program with IE. Two students from each institution annually spend the fall semester/term of their second year at the other institution as visiting students.
