Mexico :: Programs and Activities :: Dual Diploma

SUNY has been successful in recent years in the development of dual diploma programs between SUNY campuses and universities abroad at the undergraduate and graduate levels. These programs integrate the degree curriculum from a SUNY campus with an international partner, students spend up to half of their study at each university, and when they complete the program they receive two diplomas, one from each of the partners. Dual Diploma programs are proving to be a significant and desirable form of international education that provides students a sound curriculum, a rich international experience, and the enhanced credentials of diplomas from two universities.
