JOINT BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM WITH SUNY NEW PALTZ UNIVERSITY

In order to be successful today's enterprises can not be content with doing only one thing well. They must be able to simultaneously do a wide variety of tasks properly. The job of the management is to guide the enterprise in these activities and help the company utilize its resources to achieve its goals. It is necessary to approach problems encountered within this process from multiple aspects and take into account all of the effects of any decisions while at the same time keeping track of changing conditions. In order to be successful at their jobs, managers have to possess a very broad range of knowledge from a wide spectrum of areas and additionally, they require specialized knowledge in a few of the functional areas of Business Administration. It is the responsibility of respectable Business Administration Programs to produce graduates that will be successful in this environment.

METU NCC - SUNY New Paltz Business Administration Dual-diploma joint B.Sc. program

Since its establishment, The Middle East Technical University has embraced international quality standards and aimed for international recognition. In recent years, our university has developed different collaboration models in education and research with foreign institutions.

This program is the result of a cooperation model between METU NCC and the State University of New York at New Paltz (SUNY NP). Students admitted to this program will be completing part of their education at METU NCC and part of it at SUNY NP. Upon successful completion of their studies, they will receive Business Administration Diplomas from METU NCC and SUNY NP. This model of education will allow the accumulated knowledge of the two universities to be at the disposal of the students and also adds an international perspective that Business Programs around the world have been striving for. As a result, graduates of this program will be particularly well suited to compete in a global environment.

In addition to the international exposure to various cultures, the program provides access to the resources of the two universities in order to deliver an education program that covers all of the functional areas of modern Business Administration and allows specialization through the numerous elective courses that are offered across a broad range.

Career Opportunities

Furthermore, by making use of the resources of the two universities the students will have been able to receive an education focused on business administration areas of their choice.
