European MBA
A Top Level American EMBA in Germany
Founded in 2004, Goethe Business School (GBS) is the center for management education of Frankfurt University. GBS offers high – quality executive education programmes for working professionals from around the world, combining highest standards of academic rigor with hands - on applicability to “real-word” issues. The majority of the teaching in the Duke Goethe Executive MBA programme is conducted in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Graduates receive two degrees: One from Duke University and one from Frankfurt University. This means that our graduates become part of both the Fuqua and the Frankfurt University alumni network. Student Loans are available on acceptance.
As a participant in the Duke Goethe Executive MBA programme, you benefit from the diversity, experience, networks, reputation and global nature of two institutions involved. One of them is the only business school in the world that has two executive MBA programmes ranked in the top ten – the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA. The other is a traditional German state university with a first-class economics and business administration department located in the heart of Europe – the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. You will earn two MBA degrees: one from Duke University, the other from Frankfurt University – and you will experience the best in management education from two continents!
