MSc program in Global Luxury And Management (GLAM): SKEMA and NYU School of Professional Studies to sign unprecedented agreement to allow enrolled students to study in NYC

PARIS, July 15, 2021, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

SKEMA Business School announces the signing of a new agreement with New York

University School of Professional Studies (NYU SPS) Division of Programs in

Business (DPB).

This agreement will establish the creation and launch, in New York City, of a

customized course that will serve to complement the courses offered by SKEMA's

Global Luxury and Management (GLAM) program—an MSc accredited by the French

Conférence des Grandes Ecoles. The program, which is open to students holding a

bachelor's degree or higher, affords a one-year and a two-year track, with a

limited cohort of 50 students. Four courses will be offered by NYU SPS—

starting by NYU SPS/SKEMA Business School 2021 'Luxury Business Ethics'.

Students will spend their first semester in the United States on SKEMA's

American campus (Raleigh, NC) as well as on the NYU SPS campus, and will

continue their second semester on the new 'Grand Paris Campus' (France)

Flagship which opened early 2021.

Living present luxury and thinking its future

In addition to the courses given at NYU SPS, the program includes a study tour

of New York City, including visits to major luxury companies such as Tiffany &

Co.

According to Anthony Ledru, President & CEO of Tiffany & Co, a 1995 SKEMA

alumnus and member of the GLAM program board: 'The United States are one of the

leading luxury markets. To be able to understand it from inside with its actors

on the field is an undeniable added value for a young graduate who ambitions to

start a career in this sector.'

In addition, the GLAM MSc allows students to understand the diversified world

of luxury - Paris, New York, Champagne, Cannes or Monaco - through a wide range

of sectors: fashion, hotels, travel, automotive, yachting, services... The

program also addresses the new challenges of luxury – CSR & sustainability,

digitalization and client centric processes - and ends with the completion of a

master thesis and an internship of at least 4 months.

According to Patrice Houdayer, Vice Dean in charge of programs, international

and student life: 'The development of strategic agreements is one of the

pillars of our SKY25 strategic plan (SKEMA Years 2020-2025). The choice of NYU

SPS, already recognized for its expertise in the luxury sector, illustrates

this perfectly and allows our students to access to one of the best

universities in the field.'

The cost of the program is €25,000 for 1 year or €35,000 for the 2-year MSc

format.

PS: The program is also accessible at no extra cost to students from SKEMA's

Grande Ecole  Program/Master in Management.
