International Opportunities
Through the MBA International Programs, the McCombs School of Business strives to expose MBA students to new cultures and ideas so that they will be better prepared to:
- Be effective business leaders on the world stage

McCombs offers a variety of opportunities for students to add an international component to their MBA:

Exchange Programs: McCombs full-time students have the opportunity to gain business sense from a new perspective while students from our partner institutions spend a semester in Austin. McCombs partners with 20+ prestigious institutions worldwide for one semester exchanges.
-
Double Degree Programs: Students earn two advanced degrees, an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA (or equivalent) from one of seven top-ranked partner institutions.

McCombs Adventure Program (MAP): Incoming students connect with future classmates before ever setting foot on campus through pre-Orientation MAP trips each July. Typically, three 7-day international trips and two to three 1-day Austin area day trips are offered each year.
