International Academic Partnerships

Previously known as IADP agreements, the W. P. Carey School of Business works with its leading international partner universities to offer International Academic Partnerships.

International Academic Partnerships are created in a variety of formats, most often combining time at a student’s home university with time at ASU:

• International Academic Partnership (3+1+1) — a student will earn a bachelor’s degree from their home university and a master’s degree from ASU.
• International Dual Degree Undergraduate Program (2+2) — a student will earn separate bachelor’s degrees from their home university and from ASU.
• International Dual Degree Graduate Program (1+1) — a student will earn a master’s degree from their home university and a specialized master’s degree from ASU.

There are a number of master’s degrees within the W. P. Carey School of Business approved for International Academic Partnerships, providing a new generation of global leaders unique opportunities to learn the latest innovation in business disciplines at one of the most engaged, vibrant universities in America.

Partnership contracts are approved by ASU’s General Council, facilitated by the Office of Global Academic Initiatives and ASU deans, and finalized by the signature of the ASU provost.
