I reached the point in my life where I knew I was ready for a career change[…]
The Monaco MBA was an opportunity to move to Europe and learn from a truly international student body, expand my network, and develop my business skills while considering my next career move.

Build a 360-Degree Business Toolkit
A successful career change requires new skills. An MBA provides a comprehensive business education, covering core disciplines like finance, marketing, strategy, and operations. This foundational knowledge is highly transferable across industries, making it easier to enter a new field with confidence.
I’m thankful that the professors here are so passionate about their work. Many of them also work in the field in addition to teaching. We benefit from their bringing current information and their global experience in the field they’re so passionate about. We really benefit from having both of these strengths in the classroom.

It is not only to learn and perfecting necessary business skills such as strategy, finance, accounting, and marketing. It can also help develop personal and soft skills, such as leadership, critical thinking, problem-solving, and the creative optimization of limited resources.

Forge a Powerful Global Network
One of the most valuable assets of the Monaco MBA is the instant, high-caliber network it provides. Our intimate cohorts of approximately 25 students often represent 20 different nationalities. You won’t just learn about diverse work cultures, you will collaborate with them every day, discovering new ways of doing business and building lifelong connections. Who knows? Your next business partner or job opportunity could come directly from a classmate.
The most rewarding aspect of my Monaco MBA experience was the incredible network I built. During the program, I collaborated with one of my classmates (and fellow successful entrepreneur!), Ilie Pana, on a project that exceeded our initial expectations. Even better, it fostered a close friendship.
