FACULTY
The faculty, combined with excellence in subject matter and innovative teaching techniques is the key element in the success of a graduate business program. The faculty must relate with experienced executives at all levels and be experts in their own fields. This requires that the instructor be a competent teacher and have extensive business and consulting experience in addition to the conventional academic credentials.

The faculty of the University has had extensive practical and research experience in the broad areas associated with their respective fields. They are supplemented, where necessary, by a carefully selected, outstanding adjunct faculty from both private business and Government.

The major criteria in selecting faculty members are: mastery of knowledge in their specific specialty; the ability to integrate theory and practice; demonstrated skill in teaching; and their ability and willingness to use the innovative teaching techniques of the University, particularly their ability to organize and document their course material so that students are provided with Lesson Plans, Textbooks, Notes, Supplementary Readings, Cases and Exercises to facilitate the learning process.
