XLRI, Weatherhead to start 2 international courses from this year

International tie-up is the buzzword at the XLRI School of Business and Human Resource

. After series of agreements with various international management institutes, India's best known B-school, XLRI is joining hands with the Weatherhead School of Management of the Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, to start for the first time in the country two unique one-year regular programmes in the fields of finance and organisation development (OD).

Notably XLRI and Weatherhead had signed MoU in 2009 to work together in different areas which included jointly developing management programmes, exchange of students and faculty, research, etc.

Officials of the B-school informed that as a first step, the two B-Schools will be focusing on launching two regular international programmes.

While Masters Programme in Organisation Development (MPOD) will be for middle/senior level executives with at least five years' experience, the second one called Master of Science in Finance (MSF) which will be for younger people having exposure in accountancy/finance related studies.

Though the nitty-gritty's of the course is being worked out but the two programmes are aimed at 40 Asian students each who could be either from India or from the Saarc countries.

Weatherhead School of Management dean Mohan Reddy, who was on a two-day visit to XLRI for discussing the programmes to be launched as well as to interact with the B-School's faculty said, "We are confident that the tie-up will help us to scale new heights in the field of education."

He went on to inform that though the two B-Schools are yet to decide on the fee structure too, candidates joining the courses will be spending half the course's duration in India while the other half at the Weatherhead School of Management at Cleveland, Ohio in US.

It may be noted here that XLRI has so far signed student and faculty exchange programmes with 16 institutions around the world. Some of them are the Asian Institute of Management (Manila), the Asian Institute of Technology (Bangkok), the Malardalen University (Sweden), the Universiteit Antwerpen Management School (Antwerp), the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Melbourne), and the Loyola University (Chicago).
