About upGrad Partnership Programs

upGrad LogoGGU Worldwide partners with upGrad, a global leader in online higher education, to serve degree-seeking students from around the world. Programs currently offered include Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA), and Master of Science in Project Management (MSPM).

GGU-upGrad Partner Programs are available to students residing both outside and within the United States. However, these academic programs are not eligible for U.S. Federal Student Aid, Canadian Federal Aid, or Provincial Student Aid programs. Study abroad and immersion students must obtain non-immigrant visas to participate. GGU-upGrad Partner Programs are offered on a cohort basis, requiring continuous course enrollment through degree completion. Consequently, they are offered at a lower tuition rate than GGU’s traditional degree programs.

upGrad Study Abroad Program

GGU students enrolled in degree programs offered in partnership with upGrad may opt to complete their last year of study at GGU’s San Francisco Campus under the Study Abroad program. This provides students with experiences both inside and outside the classroom, including internships and US government-authorized post-completion practical training.

upGrad Immersion Program

Students enrolled in GGU degree programs through the upGrad partnership have an opportunity to experience San Francisco and the Silicon Valley ecosystem through an intensive, academic immersion program. Students are immersed in the financial, technological, political, cultural, economic, environmental, and social justice experiences that make the San Francisco Bay Area one of the most innovative, competitive, and livable regions in the world.

Note: Only those residing outside the United States may apply to upGrad programs.
