Beacon Education's Global Expansion with Golden Gate University
Beacon Education, the foremost provider of online graduate degrees in China, recently announced an exciting new chapter in its partnership with Golden Gate University (GGU) based in San Francisco. This collaboration is marked by the introduction of two innovative Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programs aimed specifically at Chinese executives: the Executive DBA in Leadership Strategy and the DBA in Digital Leadership.
These newly launched programs are a continuation of GGU's Global DBA initiative, which has already seen considerable success among Chinese professionals seeking internationally recognized credentials. As China's economy rapidly evolves, the demand for advanced education that empowers leaders to innovate and adapt has never been greater.
With Beacon Education's localized services—including marketing, recruitment, instructional design, translation, technology, and comprehensive student support—GGU is set to offer world-class doctoral education seamlessly in China. This is particularly important as the landscape for businesses and education continues to shift dramatically in our globally interconnected environment.
Bruce Magid, Acting President of Golden Gate University, voiced excitement about this new phase of their partnership: "Golden Gate University has a rich history of more than 120 years in professional education. Partnering with Beacon allows us to extend our offerings to Chinese executives, providing them with advanced training in leadership and digital transformation—skills that are critical in today's competitive global marketplace."
Furthermore, Jay Gonzalez, Vice Provost for Global Affairs and Founding Dean of GGU Worldwide, highlighted the mission of both institutions: "Our commitment has always been to provide education that is practical, accessible, and relevant on a global scale. These new DBA programs not only equip Chinese business and technology leaders to manage complexities and drive innovation but also position them as key players in shaping the future of China's global economic leadership."
Michael Wang, CEO of Beacon Education, reiterated the essence of this partnership, stating, "We are not merely launching programs—together with GGU, we are building a comprehensive platform for executive learners across China. These DBA offerings demonstrate our mutual commitment to fostering innovation, growth, and a global impact."
