This 4-year degree program was launched in 2005. It is highly competitive and only the best candidates are admitted. The program aims to create exceptional young managers for major local and foreign organizations on the Management Trainee track. It combines technical rigor and a solid general education. Thus, it provides a holistic education where a strong business orientation is complemented by an appreciation of the arts and humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences. Students majoring in Business take 64 credit hours in their major as well as 51 in general education and 15 as free electives.
