many graduating students of the executive m.B.A. in China travel to uT Arlington to participate in commencement ceremonies.

A WORLd OF POSSiBiLityThe College of Business has always approached education from a global perspective. Among the college’s most exciting programs is the Asia Executive MBA, one of the largest programs of its kind in China. In partnership with several leading Chinese universities, UT Arlington’s EMBA curriculum prepares business and state enterprise leaders for the rapidly changing business environment of 21st century Asia. To date, there are more than 1,800 graduates of the Asia EMBA program. Students in the EMBA program at UT Arlington’s downtown Fort Worth Center also benefit from the Asia EMBA through the China immersion experience. In a unique opportunity to explore the global business arena, local EMBA students connect with their Chinese peers and travel to China for a two-week trip. During their visit, students tour and study a number of Chinese companies.
