University of South Carolina, The Darla Moore School of Business

Koç University has developed a Double Degree Program in cooperation with the presitigious University of South Carolina, The Darla Moore School of Business. This joint Master’s program will allow students to graduate with two different degrees from two different universities: Koç Master of Science in International Management (MIM) and USC Master of International Business (MIB).

The Double Degree Program aims to facilitate opportunities for highly qualified students to further enhance their business competence, cultural and social skills. Furthermore, it is meant as a unique chance for students to study from a truly international perspective, develop diversity of thought, thus enhancing their possibilities in the international labor market.

Within the framework of the program, graduate students will spend the first year at Koç University, acquiring core knowledge and skills and completing all the required components of the MIM Program and spend the second year at USC meeting the requirements of the MIB Program.
