About PGS

Presidential Graduate School was founded in 2011 in New Baneshwor, Kathmandu, with a clear purpose: to give Nepal's brightest students access to an internationally recognized education without the cost, distance, or uncertainty of studying abroad. What began as a single institution's ambition has grown into one of Nepal's most prominent US-affiliated colleges, a place where thousands of students have gone on to build careers across industries, both in Nepal and around the world.

Today, as the official Nepal campus of Westcliff University, USA, Presidential Graduate School delivers a globally benchmarked curriculum across Business and Technology, backed by WSCUC and ACBSP accreditation. Every degree earned here carries the same academic standing as one earned on Westcliff's campus in California — a promise we've built our reputation on for over a decade.

Message fromExecutive Chairman

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you all to Presidential Graduate School. I am proud to be part of this college and hope that you also share the same sentiment once you are part of the Presidential family. Presidential has a very stimulating, vibrant environment, which is but a result of a heterogeneous make-up of students from a wide variety of backgrounds with a singular pursuit of rewarding international degrees. Yet, paradoxically or not, our attempt has always been to override any inward-looking individuality for a more liberal, inclusive society. No wonder we are, therefore, also holistic in our approach to teaching and learning, the student welfare always being our first priority.In fact, Presidential Graduate School is founded with a goal to offer unparalleled educational service, and the right orientation to the aspirant new entrants. The goal seems evidently reachable with our team of expert faculty members and educationists who have behind them a long experience of having catered to the needs of the students vying for the degrees that are on a par with the international ones. And, with Westcliff University’s degrees here in Nepal, the job seems already half-done!I must also note in passing that at the crucial stage of choosing careers, especially in this era of cut-throat competition at a global level, students often find themselves confused. We have a flexible approach designed to suit both your personal and professional commitments. Besides, our pioneering work-based learning programs make it possible for your academic work to be combined with your chosen career. We are confident that the programs outlined in this prospectus provide a sound, quality-assured learning experience in the field of management studies.Once again, I keenly look forward to welcoming you here at Presidential.

Management Committee

Overseeing Administrative and Academic Affairs at PGS

The PGS Management Committee is a comprehensive body of people in an executive capacity to engage in and oversee the overall academic and administrative affairs at the college. The committee liaises between the college authority including the board of directors and the college administration to facilitate the day-to-day operation of the college; in fact, it comprises people from across all the three aforesaid categories including some faculty representatives. The oversight of the Committee also extends beyond monitoring the co-/extra-curricular activities organized in or participated by PGS. The PGS Management Committee has its discretionary power. It is capable of overriding the decision of the College Administration while, on other occasions, awaiting instructions or endorsement from the College Authority.

Research Committee

OVERSEEING RESEARCH WORK AT PGS

The PGS Research Committee is a body of veteran academics that are charged with the authority of both determining contemporary research needs and delineating or structuring the school’s research projects clearly or/and robustly. The Committee also reserves the oversight of the quality control of students’ research works (both modest and comprehensive) and of the school’s action plan for such research activities integral to the partially-acquired academic insights from course-work and lectures. An autonomous body, the Research Committee is appointed by the School Board of Directors and recognized by the University to work largely at its own discretion in furthering standard research practices and goals—both domestically and otherwise.
