Dual MBA Degree for Social Entrepreneurship: Carroll-Tuft
Students who wish to graduate in Social Entrepreneurship now have a new option – A Dual Degree from the Boston College’s (BC) Carroll School of Management and Tuft University’s Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning (UEP).
While each degree on its own takes 2 years or 4 years in total, the Dual Degree takes just 3 years to complete. By the end of the program, students will have a Master of Arts degree from UEP, and a Master of Business Administration from the Carroll School of Management.
The program teaches environmental planning and policy with business management principles, giving Dual Degree graduates an in depth perspective of both fields. Students can then choose a career in either of the fields, or ideally, use their cross-disciplinary education to forge a career that touches both areas. Social Entrepreneurship and Public Policy formulation & analysis, are two fast developing areas with immense potential. In fact, a major motivation for this program is the increasing interest in the field of social entrepreneurship.
