The Charles F. Dolan School of Business continues to strengthen its international presence through strategic global partnerships, reaching a significant milestone with the first-ever in-person graduation ceremony for the Shanghai MBA program cohort at Fairfield’s Commencement on May 18, 2024.
The MBA program is available to professionals in partnership with Golden Education — one of the largest education management training companies in China.
“It is a truly historical moment that the Shanghai MBA graduates attended Fairfield University’s Commencement this year,” said Fairfield Dolan Dean Zhan Li, DBA, noting that the Shanghai MBA was the first Fairfield University degree program to be offered in a foreign country, starting in fall 2020.
Following the successful collaboration with Golden Education in Shanghai, Fairfield Dolan announced new partnerships with Jesuit universities in Spain and Uruguay, marking yet another milestone on the business school’s international expansion journey.
The new 4+1 degree agreements will enable undergraduate students from Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid (Comillas ICADE) and Uruguay Catholic University to pursue graduate degrees at Fairfield Dolan upon completion of undergraduate studies at their home institutions. These agreements will further the international students’ education and expand their global opportunities.
“Beyond Shanghai and India, Fairfield Dolan is growing its partnerships in Latin America and Europe to globalize its visibility and reputation, build pipelines for graduate enrollments, and broaden its geographical expansion,” said Dean Li.
