Management and Applied Economics

Overview

Our candidates hold positions in the private and public sectors.  They work in hospital and health administrations, in large, midsize and small service and manufacturing businesses.  What these candidates share is the desire to enhance their career path and increase their earning capacity. The prestige and knowledge acquired from graduate study enables these professional and personal potentials to be realized. Unlike other universities, IUGS will accept all graduate credits from accredited institutions, as well as approved continuing education courses. You, therefore, may now have enough coursework for your master’s or doctoral degree.  For your doctorate you would need a seminar and a dissertation or a written and an oral examination.  For your master’s degree you would need a seminar and a thesis or a written and an oral examination.
