Master of Public Policy/International Organizations MBA

Students in this dual degree program earn both Georgetown's Masters in Public Policy (MPP) and the University of Geneva's International Organizations MBA (IOMBA). The MPP/IOMBA dual degree was designed to prepare tomorrow’s leaders for positions in international and non-governmental organizations. The curriculum combines the analytical and policy skills of the MPP with the IOMBA’s focus on international business, social entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility.

Students interested in applying to this program should complete and submit both the MPP and the IOMBA applications to the respective schools simultaneously. More information about the IOMBA application can be found on their website.
