The Rector of UMJ, Dr. Ma’mun Murod, M.Si mentioned that to measure the best result and outcome in managing campus, besides the number of departments, it requires accreditation A or excellent and the establishment of a Master’s program and Doctoral program.
“It is not easy, especially to establish a Doctoral program. Because it requires good human resources, it requires two professors and three associate professors. It is not easy. So, when the Doctoral Program can be established from a university, it is a sign that a university manages in the right hand,” said Ma’mun, Friday (09/09).
As the Ministerial Decree of the Establishment for Doctoral Program in Management was issued, it became a prideful achievement for UMJ, especially FEB UMJ. Dr. Luqman explained that the operating permit is a shred of evidence that FEB UMJ has an important role to produce competent professionals and academics. It is related to the advancement of Indonesian economics through business development, management, and good governance of an organization. In addition, various FEB graduates in Bachelor’s and Master’s programs became key persons in companies and other reputable organizations. “So the Doctoral program will provide opportunities for the alumni and non-alumni to deepen and explore the novelty of management and business science,” he said.
