MAIA Cooperative Degree Partners
SAIS Europe offers cooperative two-year degree programs with leading European universities. You may begin your course of study at either institution, earning a Diploma or Master’s degree from both. You must apply to, and be accepted at, both institutions.
If you are entering from a cooperative degree program, you will receive advanced standing for the first year courses taken at the partner program (usually 60-64 ECTS). You must then fulfill 32 US graduate credits through a combination of coursework and/or a thesis, in addition to the school’s requirements in economics and English language proficiency.
