Through the University's inaugural partnership with Miles Education, which is headquartered in India, three graduate students have begun the spring semester in the MS in Business Analytics (MSBA) program at the Charles F. Dolan School of Business. This global partnership has created an opportunity for competitive students to join the MSBA program, and to be welcomed by the Fairfield community as a whole. 

Venkata Vaibhav Vankadara, Pushkaraj Makarand Kalkar, and Karthik Karpagaraja are all pursuing an accounting specialization within the MSBA. They will complete nine credits at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Indore and the remaining 21 credits at Fairfield Dolan.

“It has been an incredibly welcoming experience so far at Fairfield Dolan," said Kalkar. "Although it has only been two weeks since I arrived, the campus already feels like a familiar place."

The innovative and dynamic partnership with Miles Education continues to build on Fairfield Dolan's recent global expansion initiatives and the enrichment of cultural perspectives in the classroom. Regarding his career ambitions as a result of the MSBA program, Karpagaraja noted, "I am looking to refine my strategic data consulting skills using live data for clients. The first few weeks at Fairfield Dolan have already aligned me in the right direction.”

Fairfield Dolan places a high value on international partnerships that seek successful career outcomes for students, exemplified by collaborations such as Miles Education in India and Golden Education for the MBA program in Shanghai.
