Background
According to the McKinsey Global Institute, Africa is projected to be the world's second-fastest growing economy by 2020.[1] With growth comes a need for leaders who can address and navigate challenges and opportunities. UC strives to contribute to the region's human and economic development by educating leaders committed to making an impact on the continent.[2]

UC's African MBA program includes: 100% online and learning on the go with iOS & Android apps; certificates highlighting new skills & achievements; video lectures from world-renowned instructors; instant feedback and auto-graded assignments, engaging discussion forums and progress tracking & real-time analytics. UC measures the impact of its program with advanced tools and detailed analytics. By following their progress, UC can help students learn more efficiently and effectively. UC has created customized programs aligned with its student's exact needs. UC's Learning & Development Programs help push students forward on key competencies they need to stay competitive.[3]
Students must be a citizen of an African country. Dual citizens are eligible as long as students hold citizenship of an African nation. Residents of an African country who do not have citizenship belonging to an African country are ineligible at this time.
African students must return to work in Africa, within two years of graduation, for a period of at least two years. Students pursue a wide variety of careers after graduation.
