A new South Korean exchange partner

A few days ago Alba signed an exchange agreement with SolBridge International School of Business . SolBridge is a private AACSB accredited business school in Daejeon, South Korea, established by Woosong University in March 2007.

The school focuses on business in Asia while remaining aware of business implications for government and society. The business program focuses on finance, logistics, marketing and technology transfer. SolBridge International School of Business awards both undergraduate major in business (BBA) and MBA degrees. John E. Endicott, who serves as its Vice Chancellor, and now, President of Woosong University, is known for his work on nuclear nonproliferation (for which he was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize).

SolBridge is the first business school in Korea with an international faculty and student body (international students make-up 60 to 80% of each class). All courses are taught in English following an American curriculum model. SolBridge graduates now work in nations around the world. SolBridge is one of Korea's 15 universities that have been accredited by the AACSB board of executives and it is the youngest business school in AACSB's history to receive this accreditation, receiving the accreditation just 7 years after establishment. SolBridge features an ultramodern high-rise campus located a few hundred meters from a high-speed rail station.

Alba students will be able to go to South Korea for 3 weeks courses at SolBridge summer terms.
