The program begins with a two-week stay in Pensacola , Florida , where three courses are started. These are completed on three weekends in Germany during the following three months. The remaining courses are held at the Transatlantik-Institut in Ludwigshafen on the first and on the second weekend of each month (Friday 5 pm - 9 pm and Saturday 9 am - 5 pm ). Each course takes two months to be completed.

For each course, the particular faculty member will provide a detailed syllabus, which enables the participants to thoroughly prepare for the in-class lectures and specific assignments (presentations, case studies, group projects, written exams and company projects, etc.). The in-class lectures are complemented by virtual and self-directed learning phases.

In general, classic learning objectives predominantly are covered by self-directed learning and virtual learning methods, while in-class lectures place a stronger emphasis on the development of creative, team-oriented solutions.
   

Final Project Session in Florida

The final course "Strategic Management and Policy Formulation", which is held on the campus of the University of West Florida in Pensacola, is generally described by the participants as the highlight of the MBA program as well as a very valuable intercultural experience.
