The ACE (America, China, Europe) program is a 4-year bachelor’s degree in business jointly offered by Luiss in Rome, Renmin University of China in Beijing, and George Washington University in Washington DC.
It is an absolute new entry in the world panorama of degree courses in "Business Administration" which will unite three different countries and managerial cultures. It is a highly innovative training course for the global leaders of the future, geographically itinerant and structured over a total duration of four years, starting in September.
Students will spend their first year in their home university to acquire the knowledge building blocks in management and economics. They will then jointly attend courses in Rome (II year), Beijing (III year) and Washington (IV year). Students will have the opportunity to deep dive in the social and business cultures of three different continents by experiencing the lifestyles and networking of capital cities.
With this triple degree pathway students can obtain 3 degrees, one for each university, valid and recognized in America, China and Europe and aspire to hold positions of responsibility in global companies, international institutions or to specialize in top-ranking universities. Fees are paid to the home university for the entire length of studies.
«The first challenge for the University in 2022 and the years to come, is the need to internationalize and intercept the opportunities of the Higher Education landscape globally. The ACE program, with strategic partners such as Renmin and George Washington University, places Italy at the center of the routes of international higher education and goes precisely in the direction to respond to the need of training global, “future-ready” managers, able to work and interact in dynamic and multicultural environments», said Luiss Rector Andrea Prencipe, continuing: «For us, having traced an ideal red thread between Rome, Beijing and Washington, in line with our Strategic Plan and an innovative educational model, means to train professionals with a strong cosmopolitan character and to encourage the international mobility of talents».
