MCI with new partner universities

The Entrepreneurial School® cooperates in various forms with top international universities. A new exchange agreement was signed with the renowned University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA, a double degree agreement was concluded with NEOMA University in France with campuses in Reims, Rouen and Paris, and finally the partnership agreement with Seton Hall University in New Jersey, USA, was extended for another five years and enriched with additional activities.

University of Hawaii at Manoa

The University of Hawaii at Manoa is the flagship campus of the University of Hawaii's three-university alliance. It currently offers 200 degree programmes; the university was founded in 1907 and about 18,000 people currently study at the university. It is the only AACSB-accredited business school in Hawaii, an accreditation that MCI can also boast as one of the few German-speaking universities. Manoa is a district of Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii. Hawaii is known worldwide for its breathtaking beaches, the Pacific lifestyle and is considered a surfer's paradise.

NEOMA Business School

The cooperation with NEOMA Business School dates back to 2007, since when dozens of students have been exchanged between MCI and NEOMA or its predecessor organisations. The cooperation has now been extended to include a double degree agreement; from 2022, MCI students on the Master's degree programme in International Business & Law will be able to obtain an additional degree here. NEOMA Business School has campuses in Reims, Rouen and Paris and, like MCI, has multiple international accreditations. The university was founded in 2013 through the merger of two business schools, the Reims Management School and the Rouen Business School.

Seton Hall University

Last but not least, the contract with Seton Hall University in New Jersey/USA was extended by five years and further activities were added (e.g. more study places, study abroad opportunities, etc.).Students of the Bachelor's degree programme Management, Communication & IT can spend a semester abroad at the oldest diocesan university in the United States, whose history dates back to 1856.The USA continues to be one of the most popular destinations for Austrian students and Seton Hall University is a particularly sought-after destination due to its reputation. Its location in the East Coast state of New Jersey allows exchange students not only to experience the American way of life, but also to take weekend trips to nearby major East Coast cities such as New York, Washington, Boston or Philadelphia.

Susanne Lichtmannegger, Head of the International Relations Department at MCI, is proud: "International cooperation and student exchange are being put to the test during the Corona pandemic. I am all the more pleased that we are able to expand and extend our cooperation with top international universities."
