I, Wije Nirmala Wijeratnam would sincerely like to thank the American College of Higher Education, Sri Lanka (ACHE) for providing me with the great opportunity to go North Dakota State University (NDSU) to complete my master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) in January 2009.
 I was able to complete my Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Resource Management in 2005 at American College of Higher Education after completing my studies at Musaeus College, Colombo. After which I decided to do the 1 + 1 MBA at American College of Higher Education where I have to complete three subjects in Sri Lanka and do the balance seven subjects in USA at NDSU. The NDSU has an affiliation agreement with American College of Higher Education where students can transfer to NDSU after completing the first three subjects at ACHE, Sri Lanka.
As the first student to transfer to NDSU for this 1 + 1 MBA Program from ACHE I can confidently state that this is the best US MBA Program in Sri Lanka and I wish to convey this message to all Sri Lanka students who want to pursue a US MBA to Select ACHE without any hesitation " Join the Best to be the Best". |
