Second MA Degrees

Upon completion of a UPEACE first degree, which means having been awarded the corresponding diploma; and fulfillment of all financial commitments with UPEACE; students and alumni are invited to apply to a second MA programme. This can be completed by taking courses that are mandatory for the second MA they would like to pursue at UPEACE, without having to include courses common to all UPEACE MA degrees and that have already been successfully completed during the first degree.

Application process

To apply to the second MA programme, students and alumni must send an official email request to the Head of Academic Administration: Ms. Carla Ortiz Jarquin: cortiz@upeace.org stating their interest in pursuing a second MA degree at UPEACE and details regarding their proposed plan of studies. The plan will be reviewed and approved if appropriate.

The Head of Academic Administration will then proceed to officially notify the student or alumni about admission to the programme, by sending an official letter with Financial Terms and Conditions.

Tuition and fees

The second MA programme will have a cost of 40% of the regular UPEACE tuition fee established for the academic year during which the student will enroll in the second MA programme.

In addition, Transportation, Graduation and Government fees will also be charged. Government fees will be calculated on a case by case basis, depending on the type of process needed to obtain or renew a Student Temporary Residency.

Following UPEACE tuition payment regulations, students/alumni will have the opportunity of completing their payment in two installments, due dates will be included in the Financial Terms and Conditions document.

Confirmation of enrollment

To confirm enrollment, the student/alumni must complete the following steps:

Print the Financial Terms and Conditions document, sign it, scan it and send it back to the Department of Academic Administration.
Pay the first 50% of the tuition amount.
Send the Confirmation of Enrollment form through the link provided with the acceptance email.

These three steps must be completed by the established deadlines.

Administrative actions

No scholarships or deferrals are available for second degrees.
Students with deferred payments (applied to their first MA programme), must first fulfill all financial obligations pertaining to their deferral, prior to starting the second UPEACE degree.
