MUCIA-Global
The joint Polish-American study programme was launched in 1998, within the framework of co-operation with theMidwest Universities Consortium for International Activities, Inc. – MUCIA Global which associates a number of the key universities located in the US Midwest region, i.e.: Indiana University, The Pennsylvania State University, The Ohio State University, Michigan State University, University of Wisconsin - Madison, University of Illinois, University of Iowa, Purdue University, University of Minnesota. Two out of these, namely the Pennsylvania and Wisconsin Universities, have ranked amongst the top ten economic schools in the American Economic Review ranking (published by the American Economic Association).
Courses are realised in two majors:
- Finance & Banking
- Management & Marketing
Within the context of the Programme, the School has been organising summer schools: first at Columbus (specialisation in „Operational Management”) then, from 1999, at the Purdue University w West Lafayette/ Indiana (specialisation in „Global Financial Market” and „Global Securities”). The Summer School participants also visit the Chicago Board of Trade and the Mercantile Stock Exchange, Caterpillar and Eli Lilly, thus gaining insight into the practical aspects of "global markets" and multi-cultural companies.
Following the tradition of the Summer School organised at the Purdue University, a bilateral agreement on the student and faculty staff exchange between the two Universities has been signed. The Rector of GSBE-HSICF has received a letter of congratulations and the title of the honorary citizen of Columbus and West Lafayette, in recognition of his contribution to the development of international co-operation in the area of higher education, between Poland and the US.
