There is also a requirement for the M.A. in Latin<br />
American Studies of proficiency in both Spanish<br />
and Portuguese (or an indigenous language of Latin<br />
America), through the equivalent of Spanish 25 and<br />
Portuguese 3, or Portuguese 25 and Spanish 5. The<br />

M.B.A.-M .A. Urban Planning Program<br />
The M.B.A.-M.A. Urban Planning program is a<br />
three-year concurrent degree program jointly sponsored<br />
by the <strong>Graduate</strong> School of Management and<br />
the School of Architecture and Urban Planning.<br />
The program is designed for individuals who seek<br />
careers which draw on general and specialized<br />
skills in urban planning and management. By<br />
merging knowledge of the workings of the private<br />
and public sectors, the program aims to educate individuals<br />
who have acquired the skills to move<br />
easily between careers in private industry or public<br />
service and who have sympathies for the operations<br />
of both types of enterprise.<br />
Admission Requirements . In order to apply to the<br />
M.B.A.-M.A. UP program, applicants should<br />
request all M.B.A.-M.A. UP application materials<br />
from the M.B.A. Admissions Office, <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
School of Management, <strong>UCLA</strong>. All application<br />
materials should be completed and returned to that<br />
office. Admission decisions for the concurrent program<br />
are made by a committee composed of representatives<br />
from the Urban Planning program and<br />
the M.B.A. program, and applicants must be fully<br />
qualified for admission to both schools to be admitted<br />
to the combined program. Questions concerning<br />
the M.B.A.-M.A. UP program should be<br />
addressed to the Director of Student Affairs and<br />
Admissions in the <strong>Graduate</strong> School of Management<br />
or the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
gram.<br />
Counselor, Urban Planning pro-<br />
Program Requirements . The first year of the program<br />
consists of the first year M.B.A. curriculum.<br />
The second and third years are divided between<br />
both programs.<br />
The total requirements for the M.B.A.-M.A. UP program<br />
include from seventy-two to ninety-two units<br />
in the <strong>Graduate</strong> School of Management and from<br />
forty-eight to sixty-eight units in the School of<br />
Architecture and Urban Planning. All core and<br />
concentration requirements for each program must<br />
be met, but where the two programs' core courses<br />
are substantially the same, students may choose<br />
from either program's offerings. A maximum of<br />
twenty-four units count toward requirements for<br />
both degrees.<br />
After completing all the requirements for the<br />
M.B.A.-M.A. UP program, both degrees are<br />
awarded simultaneously. If while in the M.B.A.-<br />
M.A. UP program a student decides not to complete<br />
the M.B.A. or the M.A. UP, all of the regular<br />
requirements for the program the student wishes to<br />
complete must be met.<br />
M.S./Ph .D. Programs<br />
Admission Requirements . All applicants are<br />
required to take the <strong>Graduate</strong> Management<br />
Aptitude Test (GMAT) or the <strong>Graduate</strong> Record<br />
Examination (GRE). Foreign applicants who do not<br />
hold a degree from an English-speaking university<br />
are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign<br />
Language (TOEFL). Three letters of recommendation<br />
forms are included in the application and must<br />
be returned. All application materials, including<br />
transcripts, should be sent directly to the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
School of Management (GSM) Doctoral Office.<br />
Program information and application materials<br />
may be obtained from: Doctoral Office, <strong>Graduate</strong><br />

The School's Application for Admission to the M.S./<br />
Ph.D. program and the <strong>Graduate</strong> Admissions<br />
Application of the <strong>Graduate</strong> Division are combined<br />
in one form, which is available at the above address.<br />
Applications are accepted for Fall Quarter admission<br />
only; the deadline for submission of applications<br />
and complete documentation is January 31.<br />
All applicants to the M.S. or Ph.D. program are<br />
strongly urged to arrange an interview with at least<br />
one faculty member of her/his proposed area of<br />
concentration or major field area. The interview<br />
should take place before February 1.<br />
The Master of Science Degree<br />
The academic master's program is a full-time program<br />
which leads to the Master of Science (MS)<br />
degree in Management. It is currently offered in<br />
only two specializations: Business Economics and<br />
Management Science. The primary objective of the<br />
M.S. program is to offer students intense study in<br />
their choice of one of these specializations and to<br />
prepare them to conduct substantive research.<br />
The M.S. program in some cases can constitute the<br />
first stage of doctoral work in management. Some<br />
students will enter the program with the goal of<br />
eventual acceptance into the doctoral program; for<br />
others, the M.S. will be a terminal degree. In either<br />
case, the program's emphasis is on advanced<br />
specialized training and the development of<br />
research capability.<br />
Advising . New master's students are initially<br />
advised by the M.S. adviser of their field of concentration.<br />
Students are urged to establish a working<br />
relationship with one or two faculty members<br />
early in their studies. They are free to change<br />
advisers whenever they wish to do so during the<br />
course of their progress through the master's program.<br />
The overall adviser of the program<br />
Assistant Dean, M.S./Ph.D. Programs.<br />
is the<br />
Students are required to submit Proposal of Study<br />
forms by the end of their second quarter. These<br />
forms list the courses a student expects to take to<br />
fulfill the requirements of the program. A quarterly<br />
review is made by the Doctoral Office of each student's<br />
progress, ased upon their study forms and<br />
transcripts. Students having scholastic difficulty, or<br />
making insufficient progress, are asked to discuss<br />
their progress with the Assistant Dean. All conversations<br />
with the Assistant Dean relating to progress<br />
are documented; copies are sent to the student's<br />
adviser, and records are kept in the student's file in<br />
the Doctoral Office.<br />

Disqualification and Appeal of Disqualification.<br />
Termination of a student may be recommended<br />

is showing insufficient progress. The decision<br />
to recommend termination of a student is made by<br />
the Progress Committee of the Doctoral Board in<br />
conjunction<br />
faculty.<br />
with the student's concentration area<br />
A student can appeal the Progress Committee's<br />
decision by requesting that the Dean of the School<br />
name a faculty committee to reassess the Progress<br />
Committee's decision; the Dean decides whether<br />
such action is warranted or not.<br />
