International Students in Brazil
New England College of Business and Finance (NECB), in partnership with Centro Universitario Jorge Amado (Unijorge), will offer multiple degree programs and make them more affordable for Brazilian students, including the new high-value undergraduate Dual Enrollment program. The dual enrollment is a new and exciting option for our international students. By enrolling in the program, a student will only need to complete roughly thirteen courses from New England College of Business (all online) in order to obtain a bachelor's degree from the accredited U.S. institution. Approved coursework from Unijorge will be accepted into NECB, which allows prospective students to complete both degrees in about the same amount of time.
Graduates and current students of Unijorge will receive discounted tuition on undergraduate and graduate business degrees. These programs offer Unijorge students and alumni the unique opportunity of U.S. degrees at an affordable price, not possible by any other means or programs.
All degrees are:
- 100% online
- Offered by an accredited U.S. college
- Provide an international perspective without having to leave Brazil
Admission Requirements
Current students and graduates of Unijorge are eligible to transfer credits to NECB for both the Dual Enrollment undergraduate and graduate programs. Current Unijorge students must be in good standing and submit a TOEFL/IELTS score of over 500 for undergraduate and 550 for graduate programs. Note: Current Unijorge students and graduates may sign a Statement of Understanding and provide required TOEFL/IELTS score prior to graduating from NECB.
Tuition
Unijorge students and graduates will be provided with a discount tuition rate of $750 per course for undergraduate, $1,600 per course for the Masters in Business Ethics and Compliance and Master in Finance, and $1,550 per course for the MBA. Unijorge students and graduates should contact their admissions office to confirm various payment options.
Undergraduate Programs
Dual Enrollment: Bachelor in Business Administration from NECB and a “Graduate Degree” in Business from Unijorge
Under this exciting new option, students will be enrolled at Unijorge, or have graduated from Unijorge, and can begin taking their required NECB courses. Students may enroll simultaneously and thus complete all required coursework in roughly the same amount of time.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive two degrees: a Bachelor in Business Administration from New England College of Business and Finance and a "graduate degree" in Business from Unijorge.
