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 />

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 />

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 />
