Press Release
University of Dallas and Dayananda Sagar Institutions, Sign Agreement



Dallas, Tx, USA August 22, 2006
The University of Dallas Graduate School of Management and Dayananda Sagar Institutions of Bangalore, India today signed a Memorandum of Understanding to offer first year MBA courses in India with second year courses being taken on the UD campus. The University of Dallas will confer the MBA degree to students participating in this program.

Dr. D. Hemachandra Sagar, Chairman, Dayananda Sagar Institutions (DSI), said at the signing that DSI started in 1960 is now developed into a Ph.D. granting institution. Dr. Frank Lazarus, President of the University of Dallas, noted at the signing that the University graduated its first class in 1960, seeing a kinship between the two centers of learning.

Dr. Sagar also spoke of DSI’s goal to make “global citizens” of its students. With the advent of information technology, he said that education in India has been transformed. “The major need in business,” Dr. Sagar says, “is to understand people and other cultures.”

Both Dr. Lazarus and Dr. J. Lee Whittington, Dean of the College of Business, commented on the Graduate School of Management’s emphasis on and dedication to relevance, rigor, convenience, and choice in its curriculum and course offerings. Those qualities and features of a UD Graduate School of Management education and degree will coordinate well with the goals of Dayananda Sagar Institutions. Dr. Whittington called this day both a “culmination and a commencement” of the initiative to establish this agreement. “This partnership now gives a whole new meaning to global education,” said Sri Beldona, Assistant Professor and Academic Director, Global Business Program. “When you look at our current students and the corporations from where they come, the same corporations are now well established in Bangalore.” Dr. Stan Kroder, Associate Dean for the College of Business Online Learning, added, “It is the goal of this new partnership to offer the same quality education in Bangalore that Multinational Corporations have come to expect of us here in Dallas.”

The University of Dallas has been recognized by the US News and World Report as one of the top liberal arts universities in the nation. UD’s Graduate School of Management is the largest MBA-granting University in the Southwest. The MBA program focuses on a pragmatic and principled approach to business management.

The University of Dallas has its main campus in Irving, Texas (1845 E. Northgate Drive), and the Constantin Campus in Due Santi, Italy – as well as three satellite campuses in Fort Worth, and Plano, Texas.
