Welcome to the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University BA programs
In 1998 professor from Georgia State University (USA, Atlanta) Bijan Fazlollahi and we
made a proposal to the US State Department about the establishment of the MBA
Program in Azerbaijan. At that time, this proposal was approved and in 1999 we started
training specialists at MBA Program.We started with 7 students, and today the number
of students admitted to MBA Program is more than 150 every year.
At one time there was little or no need for business education in the planned economy of the
former Soviet Union. With the demise of the U.S.S.R., however, and the emergence of
private versus state-owned companies, developing a workforce that could deal with the new
free market system became paramount.Rafik Aliev and I were honored for our efforts in building the program into what is now
considered to be one of the best MBA programs in the country.
