Quality time spent

1. Management education that respects your time

Time is one of a manager's most valuable assets. That is why US-MBA is built on efficient study that connects current management know-how with its practical use. Over 15 months, you will gain new knowledge, inspiration and tools that you can apply in everyday decision-making and people leadership.

Instead of long, passive lectures, you can expect interactive teaching, real case studies and lecturers who bring their experience from management practice. We emphasize discussion, sharing experience and finding solutions to real management challenges - in short, study that makes sense for your professional growth.

Individual approach

2. A personal approach and direct contact with lecturers

We believe that high-quality management education is built on a personal approach, open communication and shared experience. At US-MBA, you are not an anonymous student. Lecturers know your professional background, your experience and the areas you work in. You are in touch with them even before they arrive in Brno, so your collaboration begins before teaching starts. During your studies, you can actively discuss, share your own experience and test your views against people from different fields and management positions.

What will be the value of your MBA degree

3. The real value of an MBA: international prestige

Many institutions offer an MBA, but few degrees open doors beyond the Czech Republic. In the US-MBA program, you receive an official diploma directly from the American University of St. Francis. The result is a degree with an undisputed global reach, backed by two prestigious accreditations in the USA that guarantee compliance with the highest international standards.

ACBSP accredited

4. Prestigious American ACBSP accreditation

Both the University of St. Francis and the US-MBA program itself are accredited by ACBSP (Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs). This international certification confirms the excellent quality of teaching, processes and the know-how we deliver. The program is fully supervised by the University of St. Francis in strict accordance with American accreditation standards for international education.
