Cracow School of Business

Any thoughts on this school?

I'm British but am living in Krakow and there doesn't seem to be many other options in terms of MBA programs here.

I am a bit concerned after reading about the importance of international accreditation. It seems that this degree is delivered through a partnership with St. Gallen, which is a Swiss school that is accredited by EQUIS and AACSB. Is this enough to alleviate the concerns?

Furthermore: has anybody heard anything about this MBA program, good or bad? I'd gladly hear any input.

I've not heard of it, but it looks like a serious attempt at an MBA at an excellent price. The qualification is described as a joint diploma, but I am 99% sure you will not be a graduate of the St Gallen University. There are some great options, like the Poznan-Atlanta MBA, in Poland.


PS I am 100% sure about the alumni status. Looking closer, the partner is in the town of St Gallen but is not the university.

Thanks for that. Yes, I've looked at that Pozna?-Atlanta MBA, and that seems like a solid alternative. It would just be nice to have a local option available, but I'm hesitant to jump on the Cracow program due to its lack of international accreditation.

Although WUT doesn't hold accreditation from AACSB, AMBA, or EQUIS, its MBA program is provided through CEU in Budapest, which is AMBA-accredited. Could be worth looking into, depending on your goals, expectations, etc.

Yeah, saw that program too but unfortunately since it's a weekday program and I'm in Krakow it would make it pretty much impossible to attend. The Pozna? program on the other hand, apart from being a pain in the ass to travel there every couple weekends, would be doable.

Duncan, has there been any updates or additional info on this program over the years? 
It looks solid - and although not AACSB accredited, the curriculum and structure seem great for the money. Thoughts?

Yes, looking closer is is clear that the partner certificate comes from a training company in the city of St Gallen  but which is not part of the university.  I can't see any reason to consider it.
