This partnership is working to establish an honors certificate program to provide female Omani business students at Mazoon College with theory, practical application, and experience in the areas of business innovation and entrepreneurship. The new honors program will include six courses, two seminars, and a job fair. Sixteen students are enrolled in the business innovation and entrepreneurship development program. The partners planned to offer four courses in the spring of 2004, and have completed two full courses—Finance I and Managerial Economics I—taught by Missouri-Rolla faculty. The partners have been using a “twinning” arrangement, where one professor from UMR has taught the first part of the course, with a resident faculty member from Mazoon serving as facilitator. This method has proven very effective and will help ensure a sustainable program.
