Hello everyone,
I know it's a distant learning MBA, but as it's in Europe maybe somenone can help: anyone heard of Educatis ?
Thanks
T.

Hello,

I'm not an expert on Educatis, but it does look like they are very serious. Most importantly they have been accredited by FIBAA. And they do ahve an impressive looking international faculty.

Hi thierry_bko

I have been staying in Switzerland for quite a while but I have not heard about the school before.

Good luck.

Kind regards,
Thomas

Thanks both of you. It seems Educatis is purely online but there's not much info about it, apart from some articles and a review bradcasted on the French international radio.
Will keep dugging and if anyone has more info, I'm listening.
Thanks again !

According to the FIBAA website two Educatis MBA programs are accredited: www.fibaa.de/engl/switzerland.htm

Maybe I should be more precise about the recognition in Germany. On the official KMK (Laender governments) website is says that Educatis is not recognized as a "university" equivalent to German universities, but that does not necessarily mean that their degrees are worthless:

Thanks york for the precision. It makes more sense.
So apparently Educatis is recognized as a university in Swizerland ("Uri" canton) only, but offers at least two good MBAs. As I'm still fresh in the area of MBAs, does that seem reasonable enough ?

I think if you're going to do an online mba, Educatis looks like one of the most established. It might also be worthwhile checking out what other universities are offering in terms of online mbas.
I cant remember if I already posted this, but it could be helpful:

An interesting article, even if it's getting old. Some links in it are also quite useful. Would be nice to have an equivalent for european online courses. Do you know if that exists by any luck ?
Thanks for your help!
