Full-Time MBA

LOCATION

WHU is located in the lovely town of Vallendar, directly on the Rhine, at the heart of one of the most beautiful and ancient cultural landscapes, the Upper Middle Rhine Valley.

The former garrison city of Koblenz, with its historic old town, is just six kilometers away. Cologne and Frankfurt can be reached in under an hour. As a result, study abroad students have numerous opportunities for extra-curricular and cultural activities.

 

WHU CAMPUS


The main WHU building is known as the Marienburg, and the lecture halls are centrally located around a central square, the Burgplatz. Together with the neighboring park, this lends a self-contained campus setting to the WHU experience. The library, computer room, lecture halls, departments, cafeteria and administrative offices are within a short distance of one another. The Burgplatz is a pleasant place for relaxing, with its benches nestling under shady trees and large fountain.


TUITION AND CREDITS

Tuition is paid to the College of William and Mary for credits earned; program fees due to WHU are waived.  Students are responsible for funding and procuring travel to Vallendar. WHU assists in arranging housing for the program's duration.  Credits earned during this course of study for all courses passed will be transferred in and applied towards the electives requirements for the William and Mary MBA Degree.
