EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY

WELCOME
European University (EU), 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 will be flown to European University campuses to provide some of the 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 provides maximum participant convenience and ensures program efficiency and effectiveness. Flexible, multi-cultural and student-oriented, the crossMBA is a 15-month on-site program offered over 15 weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) at either our Barcelona or Geneva campuses. 10 of the weekend courses are provided by faculty from Nichols College who are flown in from the US, while EU’s 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 MBAs 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 crosses industry, culture, experience and knowledge.

Typically the weekend sessions are scheduled as follows:

Saturday	morning session	09:00-12:00	(3 hours)
Saturday	afternoon session	14:00-18:00	(4 hours)
Saturday	evening session	19:00-22:00	(3 hours)
Sunday	morning session	08:30-12:30	(4 hours)
Sunday	afternoon session	13:30-17:30	(4 hours)
