Joint degree programs- Question

Applying to College
1

<p>If two institutions formatted the joint degree program does it mean that I will earn two independent degrees in four years? And if one school is in USA and another in Europe should I take some courses at European school, or I can earn joint degree not leaving the United States?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I have a joint Bachelor of Science degree from two local universities. It lists both universities on my degree - I do not have two separate degrees.</p>

<p>I don’t know the answer to the rest of your question, sorry.</p>

<p>Thanks, does anyone know the answer to second question?</p>

<p>why don’t you call up the universities and ask? i don’t think we have a lot of college administrators on CC.</p>

<p>Which program are you talking about specifically? Can you provide us with a link?
You would probably have to spend at least some time at the European university. If you do all of your degree on one campus in the States, why should you get a joint degree?</p>

<p>I read on Babson’s site that Babson and St. Gallen, Switzerland may form the joint degree program “The two renowned business schools will also explore the formation of joint degree programs.” </p>

<p>As I know they also had some agreements with HEC Paris. </p>

<p>“If you do all of your degree on one campus in the States, why should you get a joint degree?”</p>

<p>I think that it can be settled through faculty exchange program. Faculty from St. Gallen can teach some courses at Babson for some time and by this way students at Babson can earn the dual degree. Am I wrong?</p>

<p>A faculty exchange by itself does not lead to a joint degree. In fact, most colleges and universities participate in faculty exchanges or employ some visiting faculty.</p>

<p>Babson and HSG will not only exchange faculty but MBA students in the upcoming years. I don’t think that you would profit from a joint degree program if one should be put into place because Babson right now only cooperates with HSG’s graduate business school and you will be an undergraduate.</p>

<p>Oo ok, Thanks</p>
