More American Degrees Available At PurpleTrain.com
Following the successful launch of the Information Technology degree programmes
last week, PurpleTrain.com is proud to announce yet another prestigious online
programmes - the Associate of Science in Business Administration and Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration, offered by the Salem International
University, USA.
"We are the very first in this region to bring you a quality range of online
degree programmes from USA," said Ms Sophy Malik, Executive Director of
PurpleTrain.com, adding that this exclusive collaboration will not only enable
students from around the world to gain global recognition from recognised
American university without leaving their home towns but also provide another
means of earning a degree via e-learning through PurpleTrain.com.
The Business Management degrees by SIU are offered to Informatics Diploma,
Higher Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Business Administration graduates only.
For those who holds an Advanced Diploma in other Business disciplines and are
keen to gain a degree online, you may still apply for these exclusive
programmes. These Programmes enable students to sharpen their business
management skills and further expand their horizon on managerial theories and
practices.
SIU is unique from most other American colleges, as credits can be awarded if
students show that their prior learning experiences are:
- equivalent to a college or university level course of study
- directly related to the chosen degree programme and requirements and
- measurable or quantifiable with substantive documentation.
For example, an Informatics student who has completed Advanced Diploma in
Business Administration is deemed to satisfy approximately 2 years of college
work. He or she is able to complete a related degree in Business Management, by
completing another 6-19 courses depending on the credits awarded.
An Advanced Diploma in Business Administration graduate (with grades of "C" or
better), for instance, can earn an associate degree in 6 months by successfully
completing additional 6 courses (24 credits) from SIU or he/she can earn a
Bachelor degree at duration of 1 ½ to 2 ½ years without leaving their home
towns.
Delivered fully online via PurpleTrain.com, these programmes are designed for
today's professionals who are strongly ambitious, goal oriented, forward
thinking and always on the go. It's especially appealing to frequent travelers
as well as busy executives who find it difficult to fit in their busy schedule
with the traditional taught class schedules. "This is where PurpleTrain comes
in. We cater to the needs of these people by providing first class service with
