Luigj Gurakuqi University of Shkodra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University "Luigj Gurakuqi" of Shkodra in Albania was established in 1957.
Today, this university contains 6 faculties, 15 branches, 14 departments and more than 140 professors.
It has been the major institution of higher education in the region, especially in the technical and scientific disciplines. However, the university has a complete void in the field of market economics and management. In 1992, the university received permission from the government to initiate the development of the Faculty of Economics, with responsibilities for emphasizing market economics, management, and business administration.
Mr. Menduh Derguti, Rector of the University of Shkodra in 1992, specifically asked the University of Nebraska - Lincoln to help develop its curriculum in market economics and business management. Rector Derguti attended the training seminars provided by the UNL team in September, 1992. As a result, the current Rector, Dr. Gjovalin Kolombi, is establishing the Faculty of Economics.
In 2002, the university received permission from the government to initiate Computer Science branch. This branch is being helped by HAN University, Netherlands.
