UACS MBA is based on Harvard Business School teaching method named “PCL” which stands for Participant Centered learning.

The core concept is that Participants are in the focus of the learning process.

The instructors ask the right questions and initiate class discussion and interaction. The primary goal is applying the knowledge and gaining practical skills.

Apart from teaching theory and facts, we employ leading-edge teaching techniques, such as:

• case studies,
• role plays,
• problem solving,
• individual and team projects, and
• simulations

So far, we have 16 faculty members holding a teaching certificate according to the Participant- Centered Learning methods.

Many instructors have discovered that a highly interactive question and answer technique overcomes the problems of the traditional lecture and makes it an effective learning experience. Instead of providing all the

information themselves, the professors try to elicit as much from their students by asking direct questions,initiating group discussions and solving mini case studies. The groups meet on Wednesday, Thursday andFriday afternoons, as well as on Saturday mornings.

Note: Lectures held by visiting professors arescheduled as intensive courses (Monday – Saturday).

All UACS MBA programs and concentrations are offered in English.

The UACS MBA program provides an excellent opportunity for experienced professionals to obtain their Master’s degree by following a schedule that minimizes the disruption of their work and personal goals. Our MBA program is structured in two layers. The first layer consists of core courses and it is organized into five streams:
