Develop expertise for professional and community leadership.
This masters program aims to develop versatile students who will be omnipresent managers of cooperative organizations. After finishing the degree, the students are expected to be able to become consultants of cooperative organizations. Likewise, graduates of this degree would not only be for cooperative sector but would be potential planners and managers of public and private organizations. In short, the program is to address two folds: in the absence of able cooperative consultant, graduates of this degree are empowered with skills, knowledge and attitudes to be managers and corporate planners in the private and public sectors.
