The curriculum structure may differ across different Schools and programs, but the design and delivery of all degree programs and curricula must follow certain minimum requirements. This ensures that all students enrolled in degree programs at ADA University are educated through similarly structured, comprehensive curricula and are able to achieve pre-defined learning outcomes.
