The Tamilnadu Cooperative Union (TNCU) will offer degree courses in various disciplines from the academic year 2009-10 under a tie up with Bharathiar University, Coimbatore.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) inked between the two institutions, the 20 Institute of Cooperative Management facilities will now offer regular programmes in MBA, MCA, BBM, B.Com., and B.Sc., catering science and hotel management that will have an in-built curriculum in cooperative management.
Students will graduate with degrees in the discipline of their choice along with a basic qualification in cooperative management.
The tie-up will also enable the TNCU to put to better use its infrastructure at institutes of cooperative management, where takers for the diploma course in cooperative management had been on a declining trend over the past few years.
