Chinanews, Beijing, Nov. 14 - Over the past one year, more and more colleges have offered classes tailored for female entrepreneurs in China. Since these classes charge very expensive tuition fees, many people say they are actually a club set up for rich women, the Beijing Youth Daily reported.

 

Chinese prestigious1 universities, such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and Fudan University, are among the first to open such management training courses for female managers. In March 2003, the Guanghua Business Management School of Peking University launched a training course for women leaders on campus. The course focuses more on management issue in the educational field. A year later, Fudan University followed suit by opening an EWP course for elite2 women in September 2004. In July this year, Tsinghua University’s Continuing Education School started to recruit students for its “modern women courses”, which aims to cultivate women’s personalities3.

 

Targeting at elite women in society, these universities charge high tuition fees for their courses. In Peking University, for example, the tuition for the one-year course costs more than 30,000 yuan per capita. The training course in Fudan lasts for 11 months, or 220 class periods, and the tuition is as high as 29,800 yuan. Tsinghua charges each student 2,000 yuan per day for the classes it offer, so that the whole training program, which lasts for 20 days, will cost 40,000 yuan in total.

 

Will there be any applicants4 for these costly5 classes. The answer is: yes.

 

As the first prestigious business school to launch such courses, the Guanghua Business Management School of Peking University has recruited seven batches7 of students so far. Recently, the EWP training course in Fudan University has started to enroll8 its fifth batch6 of students, and the Continuing Education School of Tsinghua University has turned out more than 150 graduates of such course so far.

 

Applicants for these courses are either female corporate9 managers or millionaires. In a word, they are those who “have nothing left with them except money,” said a school staff member.
