European University – The Geneva Business School, Switzerland
WELCOME
European
University, established in Europe in 1973 with 14 campuses in 12
countries, and Nichols College, founded in 1815 in Boston, USA, are
proud to offer the crossMBA – an innovative and challenging program
designed for today’s intense management demands. The program provides a
balance between the pursuit of graduate studies and full-time
employment. Participants in the crossMBA will graduate with two degrees
– one each from European University and Nichols College. The program is
completed in 15 months and classes take place one weekend per month. As
part of it, US faculty are flown to European University campuses to
provide lectures and seminars. The curriculum reflects the
university’s commitment to arming managers with the knowledge and
skills necessary to succeed in a globally competitive
environment.
INNOVATIVE TEACHING APPROACH
European University and Nichols College have developed a unique content delivery system that ensures maximum program efficiency and effectiveness and convenience for participants. Flexible, multi-cultural and student-oriented, the Cross MBA is a 15-month on-site program offered over 15 weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) at either our Barcelona or Geneva campuses. Ten of the weekend courses are provided by faculty from Nichols College who are flown in from the US, while EU’s reasident professors provide the rest. During each weekend session students spend a total of 18 hours in class and then complete 15 hours of online coursework before the next module. Upon completion of the coursework students are eligible to finish their MBA by engaging in a thesis project. The advantages of the crossMBA are evident: participants maintain their regular work schedules uninterrupted, network with other ambitious professionals, benefit from an international faculty and environment, and earn an MBA that provides relevant experience and valuable knowledge of industry and culture.
