Invitation for Academic Collaboration.


International Business School “Kelajak Ilmi” invites foreign business schools and universities to the academic cooperation to open and run joint MBA program (1 to 1, twining program) which includes implementation of comparable educational programs achieving the following results:
- Tailor curriculum in coordination with fundamental elements of education process, (curriculum, learning outcomes, teaching & learning methods, grading, courses’ content);
- The automatic recognition of academic results and credits;
- After the completion of the program graduates will receive the dual or joint diploma.
- The language of instruction is English.

IBS sees faculty assessment as a major issue of cooperation establishment.
We do hope that international academic cooperation and implementation of joint programs will give opportunities for Uzbek students to get high quality education, and business community of Uzbekistan will certainly benefit recruiting graduates of the program.

IBS International Relations 

IBS currently has relationships with other schools of business. For example, in January 2002, IBS and the William Davidson Institute (WDI) at the University of Michigan Business School (UMBS) in Ann Arbor, Michigan have established a partnership with the financial support of the Eurasia Foundation. The purpose of the partnership is to strengthen institutional and curricula quality of IBS by implementing US standards in management education.

Under this partnership program several IBS faculty and the administration members have visited the University of Michigan Business School for purposes of gaining practical experience in conducting education business programs and further adapting IBS' curriculum. During one of these visits IBS Executive Director Mrs. Mila Eshonova met the former US Secretary of State, Mrs. Madeleine Albright – the first esteemed scholar of the University of Michigan.

In fact, joint effort of faculty members of both business schools has brought a well-designed IBS' curriculum approved by Robert J. Dolan, Dean of the University of Michigan Business School. This new curriculum meets the requirements of US standards of business education and needs of Uzbekistan business environment.

This year the Eurasia Foundation with support of the WDI will hire Managing Director for the IBS. This Managing Director will help the IBS extend relations with the business community of Uzbekistan as well as determine strategy for the school's future development.

The International Relations Department involves the school in memberships in different associations. Thus “Kelajak Ilmi” is a member of the Central Asian Foundation for Management Development (CAMAN). Last year the school received an offer to join the American Chamber of Commerce in Tashkent and RABE (Russian Association of Business Education) as full members. The department also maintains relations and correspondence with students and graduates of the school who study in foreign universities.

IBS 'Kelajak Ilmi" fills a very crucial void within the education system of Uzbekistan.  The education offered is more than just lessons taught in English language, but IBS along with support of western guest lecturers, offer western ideas and additional ways of thinking.  We at Uz-Texaco are happy to support their activites through scholarships and other corporate responsibilities.
