Vietnam

In 2018, the University of St Francis (USF) established a partnership with the University of Economics and Business, Vietnam National University (UEB-VNU) in Hanoi, Vietnam to offer our Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program and our Bachelor’s in Business Administration (BBA) program.

The BBA program is a four-year program in which students take courses in liberal arts and business foundation as well as major courses from Finance, International Business, Marketing or Supply Chain Management.  The MBA program is a 12-month program that includes courses in accounting, economics, finance, business strategy among others.  Courses in both programs are taught by a mixture of USF and UEB professors.  Students speak highly of the practical knowledge and experience USF faculty bring to the classroom.    

USF and UEB welcomed the first cohort of BBA students in September, 2021 and the first cohort of MBA students in May, 2022.  The second cohort of BBA students began in September, 2022.  In the summer of 2023, our Vietnam students will have an opportunity to travel to the US to participate in the inaugural summer immersion experience on the USF campus.  This experience will include excursions and field trips, business site visits, and special programming.

Each summer, US – MBA students are invited to travel to USF for a learning experience on campus. The students are fully immersed in the USF experience, staying in on-campus housing, having meals in the USF Bistro, while learning about international business or finance in the classroom.
