University President Mark R. Nemec, PhD, and Dean of the Dolan School of Business, Zhan Li, DBA, traveled to Shanghai, China, to visit Golden Education Partners.
President Nemec and Dean Li first traveled to Shanghai in 2019 to establish the partnership with Golden Education--one of the largest management training companies in China.
Since then, Fairfield Dolan has enrolled nine cohorts into the MBA program and two cohort into the Master of Business Analytics (MSBA) program. Cohort three will begin in January 2025. MBA graduates participated in Commencement on Fairfield University’s campus in May 2024, marking another milestone in this successful collaboration with Golden Education.
This trip provided a valuable opportunity for the University leaders to both celebrate and congratulate the recent graduates of each cohort. As Fairfield Dolan continues to expand its global reach, the world-renowned business school consistently attracts and enrolls a selective group of students into its Shanghai MBA and MSBA programs, further enhancing the global visibility of Fairfield Dolan’s highly ranked programs.
The cohorts in Shanghai are taught by Fairfield Dolan professors and allow students to continue in their professional careers while pursuing the degree in the evenings and on weekends.
Fairfield Dolan’s MBA program is ranked #53 among part-time MBA programs by U.S. News and World Report for 2024-25. With the flexibility to complete the program online or in hybrid format, this STEM-designated degree prepares students across multiple business functions.
Fairfield Dolan’s MSBA program, ranked among the top 25 globally by QS for best return on investment, offers opportunities for students to pursue a set of 10 classes with Dolan expert faculty in the business analytics field.
Both President Nemec and Dean Li travel back to the North Benson campus with insights to propel the international expansion of Fairfield Dolan through collaboration with Golden Education.
