The CHIC MBA program

The CHIC MBA will build your business skills and network

SCILs has concluded a partnership agreement with the ESCEM School of Business and Management located in Tours, France. ESCEM is one of France’s Elite “Grandes Ecoles” of Business, accredited by the AACSB and the EQUIS, the two most prestigious business school accreditation bodies in the world. ESCEM's management programs were recently ranked Top 40 in all of Europe by the Financial Times of London.

A modern and flexible program for busy professionals

Are you too busy, or unable to take a year or two off to complete an MBA degree?

ESCEM School of Business and Management has created an MBA for busy working professionals. Courses start with online learning during the academic year, so that you don't have to leave your home. In the summer period you will meet the faculty and your peers during 1-2 weeks of on-campus sessions.

Overall program design

The overall theme for the CHIC MBA is Sustainable Development or E-marketing. Your capstone project will focus on one of these themes.

The first year consists of:
- 4 online courses during the autumn semester
- 4 online courses during the spring semester
- 2 weeks of on-campus classes during the summer
Executive CBA students will receive credits for 3 of the first year courses (finance, leadership, and negotiation)

The second year consists of:
- 4 online courses during the autumn semester
- a capstone project during the spring semester
- 1 week of on-campus classes during the summer
Executive CBA students will receive credits for 2 of the second year courses (strategy and marketing)

The Executive CBA will give you tangible benefits

Once you have completed your SCILs Executive CBA program, you will be qualified to enter the new part-time Master of Business Administration program at ESCEM, called the CHIC MBA (www.chicmba.com). The program combines advanced online learning with three weeks of on-campus summer courses in the beautiful city of Tours, France.

If you have earned a C grade or higher for your Executive CBA courses in Leadership, Finance, Negotiation and Strategy, you will receive equivalency credit for up to 4 of the 12 courses in the CHIC MBA. Additionally, for a B grade or higher, you will be awarded a scholarship of 3.000 e and the program fee for you will then be 19.850 e. 

The CHIC MBA offered by the ESCEM School of Business and Management is a perfect choice for a full-time working Executive CBA graduate – challenging, fully accredited, flexible and affordable.
