First-of-Its-Kind Program from Acclaimed Zicklin School of Business at
Baruch College Launches in Collaboration with the Bombay Chamber of Commerce
and Industry and Think Education
INDIA
November 17, 2017 –The flagship business school within The City University of New York
(CUNY), the largest and most renowned urban university system in the United
States, Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business, is launching a
first-of-its-kind, convenient, affordable, and accelerated Executive Master’s
in Finance (EMSF) in Mumbai, India,
This
Executive Master’s, the same program as the Executive MS in Finance degree
offered in New York City, is only $15,000 USD in Mumbai. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry
will host the program in collaboration with Think Education Advisory Services.
Designed
for professionals who seek to fast-track their careers, the EMSF uses a weekends-only
modular format that allows students to complete their program in as few as 10
or 11 months, or longer, if needed. The program in Mumbai is taught by the New
York City‒based faculty of Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business, the
largest accredited collegiate school of business in the United States. Students in Mumbai complete the identical
program that is offered in New York City as an MS in Finance degree awarded by
Baruch College.
“Baruch
College is excited to make Zicklin’s graduate education accessible to
executives in Mumbai, in India, and around the world whose full lives do not
align with traditional program schedules,” said Dr. H. Fenwick Huss, the Willem
Kooyker Dean of the Zicklin
School of Business. “These talented executives understand that
advancing their learning greatly enhances the opportunities to further advance
their careers. We understand that a graduate-level program must fit into
demanding schedules of busy professional while also delivering an exceptional
education.”
Modular and Global
The EMSF program will consist of 10
modules, each of which is completed over one month with two consecutive
weekends in the classroom.
Students complete three initial modules in
Mumbai and travel to Zicklin’s New York City campus to take one module of their
choice. The remaining modules can be completed in Mumbai or New York City.
Tuition and fees for one New York City module are included in the program cost.
Additionally,
students in Mumbai can collaborate and network virtually with their peers in
New York City. Students who complete the program join Baruch College’s global network of more than 135,000 alumni
who reside in the New York City area and across the world.
India-Based Collaborations
Classes
will be held at the Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry at The Ruby, Dadar
(West). Established in 1836, the organization is one of the country’s oldest
chambers with several thousand members.
“Since its founding,
the Chamber has provided continuous service (which include new constructs) to
trade and industry,” said Director General Vijay Srirangan. “This legacy, along with our ongoing
commitment to encouraging business education for corporate executives in India,
positions the Chamber as an ideal collaborator with Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business for its new
EMSF program.”
Zicklin is also collaborating
with Think Education (TE) Advisory Services, one of India’s leading strategic education solutions
enterprises supporting the development of unique partnerships in the education
sector. The firm works with
leading universities and governments worldwide. TE is bringing its extensive network of
corporate relationships to help generate awareness of the EMSF and will lead
the local delivery of student services and coordination with the Zicklin team
in New York City.
“Think Education is delighted to help The City
University of New York launch its first program in India,” said Aditya Malkani, managing partner at
TE.” We are pleased to
be creating access in Mumbai to a high-quality master's program at an extremely
attractive price. Zicklin is offering a truly special program that
includes a robust classroom component taught by NYC-based faculty who travel to
Mumbai for this program in a format that is convenient for working managers and
professionals.”
