Recently, UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School<\/strong> announced the launch of a new dual-degree program in China<\/a> that fuses the disciplines of business and engineering.<\/p>\n

In partnership with Tsinghua University<\/strong>\u2019s Department of Industrial Engineering, UNC Kenan-Flagler has created the Global Supply Chain Leaders Program<\/em> to meet the growing need in China for executives with both leadership skills and technical knowledge.<\/p>\n

The UNC-Tsinghua dual-degree program is the only partnership of its kind between a top Chinese industrial engineering department and a top U.S. business school. Graduates will receive an MBA from UNC Kenan-Flagler and a master of engineering management (MEM) from Tsinghua.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to collaborate with Tsinghua University, one of China\u2019s most prestigious universities, to offer a new model for preparing executives in China to lead their global businesses,\u201d said James W. Dean Jr.<\/strong>, dean of UNC Kenan-Flagler. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are developing a deeper understanding of how business is conducted in each other\u2019s country, and our universities, our citizens and our economies will benefit from our work together.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One-third of the business classes will be taught in Beijing and two-thirds will be taught in Chapel Hill. At Tsinghua, classes meet once a month, Friday to Sunday. At UNC, the executives will attend two, 16-day sessions in Chapel Hill. The program also will include global residencies at logistics hubs in the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and the United States. Tuition for the 20-month program is $60,000, which does not cover residency costs.<\/p>\n

The program grew out of the research collaboration between UNC professor Noel Greis<\/strong> and Tsinghua professor Cai Linning<\/strong>. They co-founded the UNC-Tsinghua Center for Logistics and Enterprise Development in 2007. As China continued to undergo enormous economic advancements, the two universities recognized the need for a dual-degree program.<\/p>\n

According to representatives from the program, the new partnership provides greater understanding of the Chinese marketplace from the inside, and the time is right to offer a program that meets a market need there.
