The LBJ School of Public Affairs and the College of Liberal Arts provide a joint degree program that awards both a Master of Public Affairs and a Master of Arts in Asian Studies. This integrated curriculum merges in-depth policy analysis with comprehensive regional studies, addressing growing demand in government and business for policy experts with deep knowledge of Asian political systems and cultural contexts. Students can complete both master's degrees together within three years of full-time study. Certain participants, especially those needing additional language preparation, might require an extra semester or summer term to fulfill all program requirements. Both degrees are conferred upon successful completion of all coursework in both disciplines.
