What students and graduates say about the program
Three years later, after completing my studies, I feel honored and excited! Not only because of the knowledge and skills that I acquired throughout those years, but especially because of something I hadn’t thought about when I was applying for the MBA and that is the human factor – my instructors, the university’s faculty with its academic excellence, people that I had the pleasure to meet with and be influenced by. You can strengthen your skills and knowledge in various institutions – but the overall guidance, help and inspiration that I earned at the side of Hellenic American University’s faculty is the most valuable asset that I took with me when graduating, and it’s priceless and irreplaceable.
1 of 3I’ve always been a hands-on learner, and while I didn’t have a Bachelor's degree, my work experience was invaluable. The MBA helped me take what I knew and sharpen it into a clear framework for success.
2 of 3What really makes this American program unique is the application of classroom knowledge to the real world of business. In assignments and case studies, I got to analyze real business problems, and this enhanced my learning of concepts tremendously. The direct involvement with real companies and the assessment of current market conditions have provided me with invaluable insights and have sharpened my problem-solving, strategic analysis, and critical thinking skills. This pragmatic approach has not only enriched my academic experience but has also prepared me for a successful career in business. I highly recommend the MBA program at Hellenic American University to anyone seeking practical experience that will make a difference in their professional life.
