Chitkara University Chandigarh ties up with the University of Windsor, Canada, for Academic Mentorship in B.Com.
Chandigarh, India, August 13, 2021 — Chitkara University in Chandigarh, India, today announced a new international collaboration with the University of Windsor to support transnational education and student mobility. The agreement was virtually signed by the President & Vice-Chancellor Dr. Robert Gordon-University of Windsor and Pro-Chancellor of Chitkara University Dr. Madhu Chitkara today. The senior leadership of both Universities, including representation from the Canadian Consulate, attended the event. While Mia Yen, Consul General Canada, represented Canadian Consulate in Chandigarh, Mr. Digvijay Mehra, Managing Director and Senior Economic Officer represented the province of Ontario in Canada.
Under the new academic mentorship agreement, the faculty of Odette Business school at the University of Windsor would mentor Chitkara faculty in the program. It would provide feedback, support, knowledge sharing, skills, and experience while fostering a connection with students in India, who will transition to UWindsor after completing the first two years at Chitkara.
The partnership with prestigious and AACSB accredited Odette Business school at the University of Windsor, Ontario in Canada is a one-of-its-kind initiative in the international education space. Students will earn 100% credits of prior learning before transferring to the University of Windsor in Canada. As part of the arrangement, students will pay a domestic tuition fee while studying for the first two years of the program at Chitkara. Students will also be co-taught a part of academic units by Canadian faculty in the state of the art, well-equipped ICT infrastructure, and resources similar to UWindsor. It translates into better academic success for students with global careers and an education that saves them 70% of the costs.
This innovative program structure allows students to specialize in areas of high market demand, including in Accounting, Human Resources, Finance, Supply Chain and Business Analytics, Marketing, and Strategy and Entrepreneurship, while saving international tuition fees for students studying in India.
• Transferring Chitkara students would earn a University of Windsor Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) at the end of their studies in Canada.
Dr. Madhu Chitkara, Pro-Chancellor, Chitkara University, remarked, “At Chitkara University, we continuously innovate our program offerings. With the prevailing pandemic challenges, such innovative hybrid programs would help students keep their study and career aspirations on track.
The agreement with the University of Windsor will go a long way in helping the students from the region gain international exposure at one of the leading Canadian Universities. It’s a step forward in our mission to bring the best global opportunities for our students.”
“International education brings important benefits that lead to a successful and secure future for all involved,” said Dr. Chris Busch, AVP of Enrolment at UWindsor. This unique program provides participants with the opportunity to develop a broader worldview, strengthen communication skills across languages and cultures, and build crucial international connections.
The University of Windsor is a research and teaching institution with more than 16,000 students. It is one of Canada’s most impressive comprehensive universities.
