Overview

As the world changes, the programme evolves in tandem to address the needs of modern businesses (and also in response to students’ feedback), building on the School’s core values. Striking a fine balance between academic excellence and business relevance, the programme helps managers to function in a volatile business environment and transform into future leaders.

The The ALBA Master of Business Administration offered by American College of Greece makes a continuous effort to keep its ageless and business unusual promise: to foster an agile and flexible mindset and an ever-innovative philosophy. For the Alba MBA, business relevance is achieved in a three-fold manner:

• The programme has incorporated Alba’s connections with the business community in its curriculum utilizing various forms of learning and using even more real-life cases.
• It has integrated the contributions of business personalities, practitioners and industry experts as thought leaders in a systematic and structured way across the program, setting the school as part of an overall learning ecosystem with impact on national and international level.
• The programme is set up along the lines of a decision road map of a contemporary business executive. In this sense, we are not School/academic-centric but learner-centric.
• It offers continues support to the career development of Alba MBA students as well graduates

Careers

Another important aspect of the Alba MBA is that the programme itself does not operate in isolation as a closed system of business education, but as part of a wider learning ecosystem that develops on the network around Alba that connects students with academia, faculty, industry experts, companies, technology, communities, societies and global markets.

The Career and Alumni Office plays a major role in this: it offers tailored career consulting and networking solutions specifically to MBA students in order to assist them in their personal development and career advancement. The Office makes a point of offering MBA students stimuli that address their needs and wants, such as bringing alumni in the classroom in various ways, so that they become a vital part of students’ life experience during and after their studies at Alba.
