Euro*MBA Ranking Among the Leading E-Learning Program Providers Worldwide

[HHL gGmbH - 15.03.2013] The Financial Times' recently published "Online MBA Listing 2013," which lists online MBA programs offered internationally, placed the Euro*MBA among the Top 10 in Europe.
In the context of an increasing demand for distance learning and online MBA programs the latest synopsis confirms the outstanding status of the Euro*MBA Program.
For its "Online MBA Listing 2013", the Financial Times takes aspects into consideration which allow an overview of the schools as well as the orientation and the details of the programs. It specifies, for example, the accreditation (AACSB or ECQUIS) or the regions where the program is particularly popular. Furthermore, it shows the proportion of course work which is to be completed online and/or which exams need to be taken online within the MBA program.

In its analysis of online courses, the Financial Times emphasizes, among other things, the fact that tuition fees for North American business schools for online courses are up to 70 percent higher than those for European schools.

According to the "Online MBA Listing 2013", the Euro*MBA Program is one of the most international online MBA programs globally with 97 percent of its students being international. The Euro*MBA Program which was designed by six European partners, one of them being HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, is an innovative two-year MBA program for executives that is based on e-learning (electronically supported learning). It unites close to 30 different nationalities amongst its students and offers 200 professors from all Euro*MBA partner schools.

Dr. Stuart Dixon, Program Director of the Euro*MBA says: "By giving students the flexibility to study and communicate with each other online wherever they are, and inviting them all in for quarterly residentials, we've made our program much more international than most part-time MBAs. This helps us attract students who want the classic MBA experience of being able to network with people from all over the world."
