The meeting between DTU and Appalachian University leaders
During the meeting, DTU and Appalachian University agreed on a collaboration to offer PhD programs. Professor Lutabingwa said: “I am delighted to know that DTU has become the first university to be approved by the MOET to offer a PhD program in Business Administration. This demonstrates that DTU is on its way to becoming a renowned university. We expect to accelerate our partnership by exchanging postgraduates."
Both parties also agreed to implement a new Video Conferencing system. “This advanced study method provides students a great opportunity not only to learn about foreign culture but also to get to know each other. We hope that the implementation of this system will help students of DTU and Appalachian State University to share their lives and experiences”, said Professor Gonzalez.
