The part-time online M.A./MBA (USA) from SIBE and Post University offers an intelligent solution.

Combining two study programs (a European M.A. in General Management and a U.S. MBA degree), the M.A./MBA provides two qualifications in one. While the MBA program emphasizes and promotes a student’s practical, entrepreneurial capabilities »to get the job done«, the M.A. furthers analytical and theoretical skills to approach and comprehend complex entrepreneurial challenges. The two programs combined, develop your ability to analyze and understand greater business contexts and to define goals amidst most complex entrepreneurial challenges. Concurrently the M.A./MBA teaches methods, skills and tools how to successfully manage, lead and drive business and goal achievement in practice.

The M.A./MBA’s online format allows you to study in an international U.S.-European program and flexibly adapts to your professional and personal schedule.
