Business Administration
As new technological advances and an increasingly global economy transform the way businesses operate, it is extremely important for any nation to train the men and women who can lead their economies through this change. Ashesi seeks to train such people for Africa, by providing a well-rounded business education that emphasizes the fundamentals of business, and introduces students to trends that are changing the business world. The goal is that Ashesi's business graduates will be capable of playing active, diverse roles, to shape the growth of African businesses and organisations.
Management Information Systems
In today’s rapidly changing business world, a company’s ability to compete depends on how quickly that enterprise can respond to change. Central to this ability, is the successful use of information, and by extension, the appropriate deployment of information technology.
The Management Information Systems program at Ashesi University seeks to train graduates, who are able to influence business and organisational strategy through deep understanding of information technology use. This interdisciplinary program trains graduates who are uniquely empowered to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises in the new knowledge economy.
