Speaking at the opening ceremony, Dean Sonja Radas said the school
would ensure the highest international standards of business
education.
The school was founded last June after three years of preparation. It
will be attended by 16 students, including young people working at the
oil company INA and the pharmaceutical firm Pliva. The curriculum
consists of 20 courses that will be taught over a period of 18 months
for a fee of 15,000 euros.
Vice-dean Bruce L. Jaffe of the Kelly School of Business thanked the
Croatian and US governments for financial and all other forms of
support. The US government donated 500,000 for the school.
The director of the Zagreb Economic Institute, Ivan Teodorovic, said
the opening of the school was of exceptional importance to the
Economic Institute, which marks its 65th anniversary this year.
A special guest at the ceremony was the US ambassador to Croatia,
Ralph Frank, who said that the US had confidence in Croatia's
potential, and stressed the reputation the American MBA programme
enjoyed world wide.
