Northern Kentucky University President Dr. Cady Short-Thompson inked an agreement with Academic City University College of Ghana to launch a STEM-focused Master of Business Administration program between the two universities.
The program will feature courses taught at both NKU’s campus in Highland
Heights, Kentucky and ACUC’s campus in Haatso — Ghana’s capital city. The first year will take place at ACUC, and then students will complete their remaining credits at NKU. After completing the program, ACUC students will receive a STEM MBA degree from NKU.
“This partnership with ACUC is pivotal in our commitment to expanding cross-cultural
collaboration in the northern Kentucky region,” President Cady Short-Thompson said in a press release. “This opportunity will allow us to enrich the learning experience for both students and educators and enhance our research capabilities at home and overseas.”
ACUC President Fred McBagonluri called the partnership between the two schools “groundbreaking.”
“Academic City is excited to partner with a world-class institution renowned for its quality education and innovative programs, setting a new standard for leadership development in Africa,” McBagonluri said in the release
