From the Dean
By all indications, including the temperature, summer is here in
Texas. Although faculty may spend less time in the classroom during the summer, we are often teaching, researching or working all over the
world. I myself have just returned from Beijing, China where I conducted graduation and opening ceremonies for UT Arlington's Asia Executive MBA
program.
The College of
Business has always approached education from a global perspective. Among our most exciting programs is the Asia Executive MBA, or EMBA, one
of the largest programs of its kind in China. Approximately 300 Chinese business and state-owned enterprise leaders are currently
enrolled in the program. UT Arlington is preparing these executives for the rapidly changing business environment in 21st century China.
Students in our EMBA program at UT Arlington’s downtown Fort
Worth Center also benefit from the Asian EMBA program through the China immersion experience. EMBA students can connect with peer EMBA working
professionals in China, pursue a research project and travel to China for a 13-day trip. During their visit, students meet with their Chinese EMBA
counterparts and spend time touring and studying a number of Chinese companies.
As we continue forward, both in Texas and abroad, it is always important
that we hear from our alumni. In the next few weeks, the college will e-mail you a link to an online alumni survey. Your feedback
from the survey will be essential to help us plan for the future. I look forward to learning more about how you are doing and your perceptions of the
College of Business.
Thank you.
