The MBA/MA in International Relations dual degree at Johns Hopkins University, offered jointly by the Carey Business School and the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), prepares students for global careers demanding both business leadership and deep international expertise. Students undertake a flexible curriculum: 54 credits from Carey (including foundational and elective MBA courses with 18 credits transferred from MAIR) and 64 credits from SAIS (with 16 credits transferred from the MBA), totaling 118 credits. The program fosters advanced skills in leadership, business analytics, international politics, economics, regional studies, and global problem-solving. The MBA is STEM-designated, making international graduates eligible for extended OPT in the US. Students start with one year at either SAIS or Carey, complete the other in the second year, and the final year is split between both. Completion typically takes 2.5–3 years.
