A delegation from Lehigh University’s Business School visited NMIMS on Tuesday, March 18. Lehigh Business School (Lehigh University College of Business) is known for its strong undergraduate and graduate programs, and its focus on experiential learning and interdisciplinary studies, NMIMS, we are always eager to explore opportunities that create a mutually beneficial partnership.
Our discussions focused on potential pathways for NMIMS Sarla Anil Modi School of Economics (SAMSOE) & Anil Surendra Modi School of Commerce (ASMSOC) students, including the 3+1+1, 2+2, and 4+1 models. Dr Cheryl expressed interest in International Immersion for students of both institutions and student exchange Additionally, we emphasized our strong interest in collaborations that provide faculty members with opportunities to engage in high-quality research.
Dean Manoj Malhotra expressed keen interest in our proposal for a collaborative PhD program, where students would be mentored by faculty from both institutions, with NMIMS conferring the degree. This initiative would allow our faculty and students to benefit from working with well-published scholars in FT50 journals, enhancing their academic and research exposure.
