Graduate business students at the University of San Diego (USD) have the opportunity to enroll in a Dual Degree Program with the Tecnológico de Monterrey (Tec). The Tec system includes several campuses across Mexico as well as a Virtual University which provides cutting-edge, distance education throughout the Americas.

As dual degree candidates, students from campuses throughout Mexico will spend a year of study at USD and USD students will experience living and studying in Mexico for a year. This program allows students to receive two masters degrees, one from USD and another from Tec, in approximately 19 months of full-time study. This is possible because each institution accepts course work from the other to meet degree requirements. Students will receive either a MBA or an IMBA from USD, and an MBA, MS in Finance or MS in Marketing from Tec.

Courses at some of the campuses in Mexico are offered in English. Although it is expected that students already not proficient in Spanish will improve their language skills while studying in Mexico. Particular courses will be required by each institution to ensure that students receive both the traditional foundation in business and/or their chosen area of expertise, and also courses which reflect the business and economic environment of the U.S. and Mexico. Graduates of this program, after being fully immersed in two cultures, will be highly proficient in English and Spanish as well as have a strong understanding of the business systems in both countries.

The Graduate Business School at the Monterrey Campus has been recognized as one of the top business schools in Latin America by America Economía (Chile), among the top business schools of the world by Financial Times (UK) and The Wall Street Journal, world’s top 15% business schools in Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development by the Aspen Institute and The World Resources Institute, among the top business non-USA Schools by Business Week, and among the top 50 MBA’s in the world by Handelsblatt (Germany). The Monterrey Campus is also fully accredited by AACSB International and EQUIS.
