The programme is taught through a combination of online instruction and three rigorous residency periods of approximately eight days each where the faculty from the Friedman School travel from the US to RAK for interaction with students.

Dr Eileen T. Kennedy, Dean, Friedman School, is among the faculty who travelled to RAK to teach during the January residency and was on hand for the announcement. “This is a terrific day both for us and for our partners in the government of RAK. Accreditation is the capstone of years of dedicated work by members of this partnership and assures the prospective student and their future employers of an unparalleled educational experience.” said Dr Kennedy.
