“Students who will successfully complete their studies in this new program will be awarded a joint degree that will carry the emblem and stamp of both universities and will obtain the title Master’s Degree in Economics in the field of Business Administration. Promoting or opening this study program together with one of the most prestigious American universities is an acknowledgement for the continuous work and engagement of our University, but at the same time it’s a great challenge and responsibility for our institution, for the fact that for this kind of partnership, from many European universities, the University of Tetova was the one that was selected. With this advantage we once again prove that the University of Tetova is being included in the international academic scene, and becoming a serious partner of many educational and scientific projects. As a Rector, I ensure our American partners that we will work continuously for the Business Administration program to succeed, to attract the attention of our young generations in the next five years, the period for which it is accredited, through the quality staff to help the business community, to contribute to the elimination of barriers that represent a challenge to this important sector for society” – said the Rector of the University of Tetova, Prof. Dr. Vullnet Ameti.
