The program primarily offers experienced managers the opportunity to obtain the full MBA degree without having to interrupt their careers. This MBA program raises the standards of management knowledge and practice of executive managers through the study of management theory and practice, based on decades of experience of two prestigious schools MSM and CMC. Our MBA participants are given the opportunity to share their expertise with fellow international students and experts from both schools. By modern and innovative approach to education we consistently encourage students to critical thinking and provide challenges to their previously gained experiences and skills. We try to balance management theory with practical experience in a multicultural and multidisciplinary setting. This approach, combined with an emphasis on develpment of the participants’ leadership skills and individual approach to students, makes studying Weekend MBA program a unique life-time experience.
