Overview
MSD has designed this new programme
considering our changing academic environment. The programme builds
upon the old 2-yr Bachelors Degree (BA, BSc,
B.Com) and would enable the students to earn a four year Honours Degree
after studying for another two years at the Management Studies
Department. The programme is structured after reviewing undergraduate
programmes at internationally renowned schools.
In terms of scope, these graduates
would compete for the top public & private sector placements as
well as be eligible to apply for a Master’s degree programme anywhere
abroad. The programme would also give us room to upgrade our existing
MBA to a post-experience programme and to make it internationally
acceptable in due course.
Programme
Structure
In order to
earn the Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree
in Applied Management, the students are required to complete a minimum
of 64 credit hours with a cumulative grade point average of 2.3. This
would be in addition to their existing 2-yr degree which will be
accepted for credit transfer and the students will have the necessary
credits in the range of 126 – 132 to qualify for a 4 year Honours Degree.
- The
first semester of this programme consists of four compulsory
courses of 4 credit hours and one of 2 credit hours each offering
a total of 18 credit hours.
- A
skill building term of 6 credit hours follows focusing on personal
productivity tools. This term is of vital importance to the
students in the competitive environment where proficient use of
information and communication technology is critical. The duration
of this term is 5 weeks and it is sandwiched between two
semesters.
- The
second semester consists of three compulsory courses of 4 credit
hours and three of 2 credit hours each offering a total of 18
credit hours.
- This
would be followed by semester III which comprises six months of
work-based learning. Students also take up to 9 credit hours of
courses that match their work placement.
- The
final semester comprises of one compulsory course, two electives
and a research paper of 4 credit hours each and one compulsory
course of 2 credit hours. The maximum total would be 18 credit
hours.
The maximum credits offered would
be 69 and the minimum required for graduation would be 64.
