商界之中:中国高管缘何青睐美国MBA课程

项目的初衷旨在吸引一些有技术或者制造业背景的企业高管。但是斯瓦米纳坦发现，有投资、金融和市场营销背景的高管也纷纷报名。他说：“我认为未来课程的受众领域将会大大超越我们的最初预想。”

The students are also a bit older than many of their American or European counterparts. The average student age at the UNC-Tsinghua program is 41. By comparison, the average age of American EMBA students in 2010 was 37.1, according to Executive MBA Council data. Swaminathan says that many students in China lacked access to cutting-edge management education after graduating from college. "Many of these people are not looking to make a career switch. They're looking to enrich their current careers even further."

这些学员比欧美EMBA学员的年龄更大一些。清华大学-北卡罗来纳大学双学位EMBA项目学员的平均年龄为41岁。而国际EMBA协会（Executive MBA Council）的数据显示，2010年美国EMBA学员的平均年龄是37.1岁。斯瓦米纳坦说，许多中国学员大学毕业后缺少高端管理教育方面的学习机会。“他们中的很多人并不是为了转行，而是寻求在现有职业上取得更长足的发展。”

But the program has faced some hiccups. "Anytime you're talking about collaboration across continents, it's challenging," Swaminathan says. "UNC is the oldest public university and so we have processes in place that we must adhere to. On the other hand, Tsinghua has its own set of regulations and policies, so coming up with a process and program that works at both ends was extremely challenging."
