A new dual graduate degree program in international management at both institutions emerged from this TIES partnership. The joint degree program prepares students for leadership and commerce positions linking Mexico and the United States. Four Mexican students completed the dual degree program. Participating students interned with TV Aztec, 7-Eleven, Heli-Dyne and the Jet Powered Group and made valuable contacts for developing future cross-border activities. In addition, four TCU faculty members and one UDLA administrator participated in exchanges. The partnership also co-hosted an academic marketing conference with UDLA, which drew more than 100 participants from Latin America and the United States.
