Quality education and a high caliber of academic standards are the most important components of a university, how do you choose your professors?
Sacred Heart’s approach to managing the quality of the student learning experience and providing public confidence in the quality and standards of higher education all boils down to the right choice in professors who understand what it is like to be an entrepreneur and work in a corporate environment.
The Welch MBA and Certificate programs are ongoing programs that allow you to start at almost any time of the year.
The Welch MBA with Internship starts every year in mid-August or mid-July if foundation courses are required..

Maybe. As part of our supportive learning environment, we want to set you up for success. A lack of English proficiency can be a serious obstacle to your performance in the MBA program. If you did your studies in English or you worked in an English speaking environment for several years you don’t need to pass an English test.
Our staff can assist in assessment and finding tutoring if required.
Sacred Heart University is an accredited university. If you have taken some courses at other accredited universities, our academic review board will review the syllabus for each course and more than likely the credits will be transferred directly to your SHU program here in Luxembourg.
We recommend meeting with the Academic Director to plan your course of study. At this meeting, you will review the order of courses necessary to complete the degree and how your availability fits exactly into completing the coursework. All schedules can be tailored made for the student.
