Sponsored Contribution: Boston University in Brussels celebrating 35 years of excellence

Today’s global-minded leader needs to have expertise in the latest principles of international relations, marketing, management, and leadership. And for more than thirty years, that is what Boston University in Brussels has provided—right in the heart of the EU.

In 1972, Boston University became the first major American university to offer graduate business management degrees in Europe. Since then, Boston University in Brussels has prepared students for the challenges of a multicultural marketplace, providing programs that build professionalism, confidence, and skills that can be applied directly to the workplace. For students who seek a world-class education that taps into the cultural sophistication of an international city, the interplay of global political perspectives, and the ideas of seasoned business leaders, the BU Brussels classroom is the place to be.

BU Brussels offers master’s degrees and graduate programs in international relations, business, and—coming in 2009—leadership. Determining their own pace of learning, students study full- or part-time on a convenient evening schedule, enabling them to sustain the momentum of their careers and balance life responsibilities with their advanced study. In fact, much of what BU Brussels students learn in the classroom can be applied to their careers immediately.

Each degree, certificate, or diploma program is taught in English by distinguished faculty, comprising an esteemed group of academic and real-world experts who collaborate with the faculty from graduate departments at Boston University’s Metropolitan College in Boston. As part of an international learning community of expert teachers, savvy professionals, and fellow learners, students benefit from an extremely practical, American-style education in a city where world politics and business concerns converge. And upon graduation, they join the growing number of alumni from the Brussels campus—part of a respected global network of more than 250,000 Boston University alumni.
