Czech 100% online MBA and DBA for 3k/5k

[David1477]

I found a very interesting offer: https://www.businessinstitut.eu/program-...ent-online

Their list of accreditations is very long and some of them look meaningful, but I am not 100% sure if they are legit.

3600€ for an online MBA in english. It seems accredited too.

Their online DBA is around 5k. What do you guys think ? Any red flags ?

Seems to be ACBSP accredited:
https://acbsp.org/members/?id=27045128

Also:

Business Institut is accredited by the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic under § 30 par. 5 of Act no. as an educational institution under accreditation number AK / I-47/2014, proceedings number MV-138186-4 / ODK-2014.

According to the ACBSP link in the post: The result is :
Accreditation Status:  No Accreditation
Category:  NA - Not Accredited

Red Flag indeed.

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't even notice.

https://www.study-esbm.com/ one more online school like that. The offers even seem somewhat identical. The lie about ACBSP accreditation is made here too. Maybe some kind of duplicate.

They don't lie they are accredited by ACBSP, at least on the page I read, they say they are a member.
Accreditation by the Ministry of the Interior means very little, even if I didn't read the details, it sounds like kind of approval that some categories of state employees can use this company for professional study (in terms of spending state money on some of their courses). That doesn't necessarily mean they study MBA or DBA, more likely it's used for standalone courses.
Business Institut is not a university nor college, MBA and DBA titles are not part of official education system in Czech republic thus anybody can offer them, so it will not be recognized in most other countries (since it is not recognized in the country where it was issued).

"CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE
University diploma or experience on a leading or managerial position. Students are accepted without entrance examination
"
So you do not need a bachelor to make a master degree... suspicious.. probably not accredited since in Europe, under the Bologna Accords, you need a bachelor degree to make a official recognized study of master.

MBA and DBA are not regulated by law in Czech republic, so anybody can offer it. It's not part of educational system here. Completely unregulated.
Also, it's definitely NOT a master degree.

Ok, then this price makes sense. I didn't know about these specific rules of the Czech Republic. Thanks for clarifying!

Further research is in need for those looking for international degrees, make sure they're recognized in the Ministry of Education within the Country. It's less of a headache for those that are public/state owned institutions unless the ones you're interested in are private/non profit and affiliated with a public/state institution (think of them like laddering up from diploma to degree).
