Graduation is a remarkably special occasion,
celebrating the commitment of time and effort for
every student. This year's commencement was
especially memorable as Northcentral University
graduated its inaugural class of MBA students from
China as a result of our initiative with
prestigious Tsinghua University.
Since its launch in 2017, Northcentral
University's relationship with DaoKou
Wealth, an affiliate of Tsinghua
University, has welcomed over 130
students, offering an unparalleled
access to graduate education for
working professionals in China. With
the first cohort of graduating students,
the second cohort of students are on
track to join their fellow alumni in this
momentous event next year. Plans are
also in motion to launch a third cohort
this fall.
The initiative with Tsinghua University has support
from various NCU departments, coupled with the
guidance of NCU and Tsinghua leadership. The
NCU-Tsinghua initiative is poised to grow into a
long-term relationship that significantly benefits
NCU's brand in the international community.
