| The Anadolu University – Empire State College, State University of New York (SUNY), dual degree e-MBA program is designed for working professionals. This innovative degree program provides students who are not free to attend classes regularly with an opportunity to earn both an Anadolu University and an Empire State College e-MBA degree through a mix of interactive, online courses and periodic residencies in Turkey. Students attend up to six residencies of three to four days during the duration of their program. All other work may be conducted from home or work, by accessing the World Wide Web.
The total program consists of 15 courses, eight taught online by Anadolu University faculty and seven taught with a mix of online and residency activities by faculty from the Empire State College, SUNY. The curriculum consists of required and elective courses. All courses are highly interactive, involving regular online participation by both faculty and students. Professors in this program utilize a wide and innovative mix of textbooks, problems, tests, research and discussion papers, online discussions and debates, case analyses, role playing and skill building in their courses. In fact, the dual degree program is modeled after Empire State College's competency-based MBA, teaching both the functional subject matter of the MBA as well as the competencies required to put that functional knowledge to effective use.
The seven courses taught by Empire State College faculty will combine students from the dual degree program with students from Empire State College's North American MBA program for the online components of the courses, so there will be many opportunities to share ideas and experiences with students in the U.S. program.
