Program Choices
The Executive MBA Program, “International Masters in Management” is a joint effort of 4 premier Business Schools: Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management, Tilburg University’s Tias Business School, GISMA Business School, Germany and CEU Business School. It has just recently been ranked # 11 in the world by the Financial Times in their world-wide survey of Executive MBAs. FT also ranked the program #1 in the world in “international course experience”. This integrated, part-time Executive MBA, which begins each year in February, is for experienced professionals who seek to obtain their degree while maintaining their full-time job responsibilities. Rotating on-campus instructional time is focused into six twoweek residential sessions over the 2 years.
CEU Business School offers an exceptional opportunity to earn an American MBA in the heart of Europe. The ONE-YEAR, full-time program begins each year in September. A rigorous, participative curriculum is taught by prominent international faculty with roots and experience in Central-Eastern Europe. Influential senior executives from many of the largest multi-national corporations prepare students to rise to the challenges of the local transforming economies through guest lectures, mentorships, and real-world consulting projects. A multicultural student body is given the opportunity to further enhance this diversity through exchanges with the School’s prestigious partner institutions in Europe and North America.
The modular WEEKEND MBA, the same high quality American degree as the full-time program, can also be earned on a part-time basis, with no career interruption. The Weekend program starts in January each year, with classes running intensively from Friday afternoon until Sunday noon, every third weekend.
The School offers an MSc in IT Management Program, which is a short, highly concentrated business degree, much more specialized than an MBA. The Program focuses on the relevant management issues in the IT discipline across various industries, with particular emphasis given to developing entrepreneurial skills. Carefully designed to accomodate the needs of industry professionals, the Programs starts every September, with a duration of 7 or 11 months.
NEW this year is the Dual Undergraduate Degree in International Business from Università Bocconi and CEU Business School. It is the first European-American undergraduate program that innovatively combines the study of EU business practices and American management style, with the challenges of the emerging economies. Students will develop diversity of thought, international management competencies and a truly global mindset. The first 2 years of the program will be delivered at CEU Business School in Budapest, Hungary, and the final 2 years at Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi in Milan, Italy. Upon completion of this program, students will receive: an Italian Undergraduate Degree (Laurea) and an American Bachelor of Business Administration.
To keep pace with a constantly changing economy and an ever-increasing competitive environment, managers at all levels must be fully committed to the concept of life-long learning. CEU Business School's vast array of Executive Education Programs have been developed to upgrade skills, add new competencies and to impart the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance managerial effectiveness. Program portfolio includes few-day executive workshops to several months-long comprehensive training programs, and offers both open enrollment (HR, Lobby, AmChamAcademy) and company-tailored (Energy Management, Project Management, Change Management) management education.
