  • MA Asian Studies/MBA Dual Degree Program  
    • Of particular interest for graduate business students is the MBA/MA in Asian Studies. This program affords an opportunity for students interested in Asian business to combine the study of language and Asian area studies with the MBA. The program generally takes three- to three-and-a-half years to complete, with a three-semester (rather than four-semester) residency requirement. Successful completion of a one-year FALCON intensive language program may count as one of the two semesters of residency in the Graduate School required for the M.A. in Asian Studies. Fifteen "elective" Asian Studies credits can be applied against the sixty-credit total required by the Johnson School. Students should apply to both the Johnson Graduate School of Management and the Cornell Graduate School; if denied admission to one of these programs, students may enroll in the other.
