For the past two years, the Bachelor programme
has been operated under a management
contract with City College
Norwich/Anglia Polytechnic University UK.
From July 1997, a new Bachelor of Science
in International Hospitality Management
will be offered by Les Roches. The Bachelor
programme will be managed by Les Roches
itself, and will be put forward for full accreditation
to the New England Association of
Schools and Colleges, Inc. USA. (NEASC).
This is one of six major regional accreditation
agencies in the United States, and already
has accredited Les Roches at Associate
Degree level.
