The 3-Year Joint Program in Business Analytics and Data Science (in collaboration with New Jersey City University - NJCU, USA) comprises 200 ECTS credits: the first year - 75 ECTS, the second year - 75 ECTS, and the third year - 50 ECTS. The program’s expected duration is 3 years.
The academic year is organized on a semester basis. Each semester consists of 20 instructional weeks, so the academic year totals 40 weeks. One ECTS credit equals 25 hours, which includes both the student’s contact hours and independent study time (for midterm and final assessments, as well as for homework preparation).
The program is structurally divided according to a 2+1 learning model, which means that the first two academic years are completed at the Caucasus School of Business, while the third year is spent studying at New Jersey City University.
The program is structured into core field courses and free component courses:
- Core field courses (180 ECTS credits):
– Mandatory courses – 160 ECTS credits
– Elective courses – 20 ECTS credits
- Free component courses (20 ECTS credits):
– University mandatory courses – 15 ECTS credits
