Full-time MBA course

FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES tying up with local colleges to offer management programmes is a trend that is catching on. One of the early starters was the Bangalore-based Christ College. Its tie-up with the Ohio University, for instance, resulted in the OHIO-Christ Academy that now offers a full-time Ohio University MBA programme. Admissions for this course for the academic year 2007-08 are now open.

The 18-month MBA programme is spread across six academic quarters and it includes a six-week internship, four-week International Business Consulting Project and an option to complete the final quarter of the course on the OHIO University campus in the Unites States. The international accreditation body, AACSB-International, has accredited all OHIO University Programmes, including its India Programme. Only 12 schools in Asia are so far accredited by the AACSB-international.

Practical learning at OHIO-Christ Academy is given shape through a full-fledged placement body that assists students in getting internships, Applied Research Projects, as well as final placements.

Basically, anyone with a degree from a recognised university could apply, provided they have a minimum of 60 per cent aggregate marks.
