Eighty−one Executive MBA candidates from Romania recently completed a visit to the
Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University. The students attend the Institute
for Business and Public Administration (ASEBUSS) in Bucharest‚ Romania. ASEBUSS and
the Coles College have an academic alliance to enhance professional opportunities
for students and faculty in their respective executive−format MBA programs.
The Romanian students have been working in virtual teams with associates in KSU’s
MBA for Experienced Professionals program since October 2003. During their recent
visit‚ which ended April 26‚ the Romanians visited U.S. businesses including BellSouth
Corporation‚ Bank of America and CNN. The KSU students traveled to Romania in January
2004.
“Working directly with colleagues from overseas is the only way to fully understand
the intricacies of international business‚” said Rodney Alsup‚ senior associate dean
of the Coles College. “This sort of alliance is a great opportunity for our students.”
The MBA for Experienced Professionals program is the largest executive−format MBA
program in the Southeast. In addition to global travel‚ associates in the program
meet once a month for weekend class sessions at KSU’s state of the art Executive Development
Center.
