Abstract
Ethiopia has the second largest population in sub-Sahara Africa. It is
endowed with flora as well as fauna yet it is one of the many
underdeveloped African countries. The country's aspiration to improve its
economy can be achieved by having well designed and implemented
education system.
It is now more than 100 years since modem education was introduced in
the country. Currently the country is striving to bring economic prosperity
through provision of education for all policy. Currently there are many
higher educations owned by the public and private sector.
In contrary to the increasing number of higher education institutes, the
evaluation of their success has received little attention. This project tries to
identify weaknesses and strengths associated with MBA program at AAU
by adopting guides developed by HERQA.
Participants of the program are not attuned to the objectives goals of the
post-graduate program. Flow of information within the program is not
fluid. Resources are very scarce and underutilized. Despite all this
employers are satisfied with the knowledge and skills of graduates.
To make the program work more and add value to participants' revision of
the curriculum and enhancement of internal capabilities are of a
paramount importance
