Mohammad Ali Jinnah University is operated by the Mohammad Ali Jinnah
University Trust as a comprehensive university authorized by a Government charter to award
earned and honorary degrees in all fields, at all levels.
The University follows the American System for delivery of education
and for award of degrees.
We think we stand in a class by ourselves; our degrees are equal to and
may be compared with degrees awarded by accredited American universities. We require a
student who has completed twelve years of formal education to complete at least 124
semester credit hours to earn a baccalaureate degree.
New and unique courses
Our undergraduate degree program includes a segment of almost 30% on
general education: language skills, humanities, mathematics, natural and social sciences.
This is unique in Pakistan.
How Useful Are the Courses for Use by the Private Sector?
We follow the curricula followed at American institutions accredited by
the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, the professional accrediting
agency in Business.
Non-classroom Lectures and Seminars to help Students
We schedule extension lectures by prominent scholars in various
disciplines, including Business, economy, finance, international relations, government and
politics, etc.
Is the Executive MBA Programs Successful?
We started our executive MBA program with almost no notice to the
corporate world. We have a good enrollment; we look forward to better enrollment next
semester.
Linkage with Foreign Institutions
As a university chartered by the Government of Sindh, we have authority
to award our own degrees and we do not need linkages with foreign or domestic institutions
to validate our degrees. We are negotiating exchange programs with some American
universities.
President's message
The establishment of Jinnah is a milestone in the history of quality
education in Pakistan. Jinnah delivers education, right here in Pakistan, which is equal
to education received at a good American university. Our admission requirements, our
physical facilities, our faculty, our curriculum, our instructional methodology, our
student evaluation, everything parallels facilities and systems at a good American
university. We provide our students with a challenging environment. Our faculty works hard
with the students and we expect the students to work hard. We are establishing a
reputation for excellence at our institution.
