Emeritus announces collaboration with MIT Sloan, Columbia Business School and Tuck at Dartmouth as founding academic institutions
Mumbai, March 29, 2016 - EMERITUS Institute of Management was recently launched in collaboration with MIT Sloan Executive Education, Columbia Business School Executive Education and Tuck Executive Education at Dartmouth with a mission to bring quality, top-tier business education to emerging leaders throughout the world. Each founding academic institution plays a unique and pivotal role in establishing the academic rigor of the Institute.
A Recent FICCI-E&Y report mentioned that India's higher education enrollment of 30 million students in 2013-14. 5 million of these students learn through distance education. India's gross enrollment ratio of 22.5% is still very low compared to China 31%, UK 61% and US 90%.
"Using technology and curriculum innovation, EMERITUS opens doors for tens of thousands of Indian students who want to pursue a high-quality business education while continuing to work says Ashwin Damera, Executive Director and Member of the Academic Board of EMERITUS. "India's young population will now have unprecedented access to build the skills and knowledge needed to support the 8% growth rates expected of the nation."
Associate Dean of Executive Education at MIT Sloan School of Management, Peter Hirst, said, "Our collaboration with Emeritus Institute of Management expands considerably on MIT Sloan Executive Education's digital capabilities and provides access to our faculty's lectures and learning materials for the next generation of managers in parts of the world where a top-tier management education might not otherwise be reachable or affordable."
The faculty at EMERITUS comprises outstanding professors drawn from the founding academic institutions and other institutions of similar repute. They are recognized for their contribution to thought leadership in management, globally and include the likes of Marshall Goldsmith, Vijay Govindarajan, Steve Eppinger, John Van Maanen, Gita Johar, Adam Galinsky among others.
