Awarding Double Degrees at Royal Roads University, British Columbia, Canada and the Management Centre Innsbruck, Austria

Explore the model for offering dual online degrees from Royal Roads University in British Columbia, Canada and the Management Centre, Innsbruck, Austria. Students first complete the online courses and residency offered by their home university, and then join the residency on-site in the other university program and return home to complete the online courses from the second university. They take about two-thirds of each program (earning transfer credit for similar courses) and earn two degrees.
