International Graduate Degree Partnerships

Watson College has forged partnerships with various universities around the globe to set up programming for students of both institutions.

Several of the partnerships have been established specifically to create 3+2, 3.5+1.5, 2.5+1.5, 1+1 and other programs.

These programs provide partnership students the opportunity to study at Binghamton for a shortened period of time. This ensures that the student gets academic experience in two cultures, which can open up even more opportunities for the students.

To learn more, select your university from the list below to see the program options available.

Each program has its own application process and timeline, but there are some commonalities across programs. You can review the application instructions below.

Please note: There is no separate application for the international partnership programs. You will complete the standard application. Please be sure to mention your program (3+2, 3.5+1.5, etc.) in your statement of purpose.
