The MBA program at the East Delta University will expose students to the rigorous curriculum of an American business school, and at the same time help develop a deep understanding of the complex Bangladeshi economic and political system. It is a program that combines the American drive for efficiency and the Bangladeshi obsession with fairness and equity. In addition, the program will provide the international perspective required of every successful managers in this age of increased global competition.
