Upon completion of the program the student will receive a B.S. degree in business administration from UNCW as well as a business degree from the TABSA host institution. Currently UNCW has four host institutions, (1) KEDGE in Marseille, France that awards the International BBA, (2) Hochschule Bremen in Bremen, Germany that awards a Diplom-Kauffrau/Kaufmann (FH), (3) Hertfordshire in London, UK that awards the B.A. Honours International Business, and (4) the University of Valencia, Spain that awards the Graduato Europeo en Direccion de Empresas (GEDE).  Students in the program pay tuition and fees to UNCW.

At completion, students receive a Bachelor of Science in business degree from UNCW as well as the partner institution’s equivalent degree. Successful completion of the International Dual Degree Program requires a highly structured program of study beginning in the freshman year at UNCW.
