View(s):
ANC Education, in partnership with Northwood University, which is ranked among the Top 10 private Business schools in the U.S, offers a 100% U.S curriculum that inculcates experiential learning, a process of acquiring skills and knowledge through first-hand experiences from outside of the traditional academic classroom setting. Students are exposed across multiple industries to apply theory learnt in class, into practice in the real business world.
Experiential learnings are conducted through corporate internships, field trips, field research, study programs abroad and service-learning projects.
ANC takes students beyond the traditional academic classroom to immerse them in a corporate business world experience, with industry experts that provide real-world scenarios, and situations for students to think like a ‘Corporate Executive’, instilling in them the mindset needed to tackle the challenges of tomorrow’s market place.
