Here is what our graduate students say about their experiences studying at DEREE – The American College of Greece.

"One of the main advantages that the program offered was the ability for a student to obtain the degree within a period of 10 months thanks to a flexible class structure of classes. The selection of courses was representative of the current trends in the financial industry with new courses added as market conditions demanded (i.e., the inclusion of a credit risk management course following the credit crisis that spread throughout the globe this year). The curriculum was carefully designed to include core courses that gave the student a solid background in financial analysis, as well as an extensive selection of elective courses that allowed the student to focus on a particular area of interest (i.e., financial analysis, commercial banking or derivative instruments)". Eleftherios Markantonakis, MS in Finance with High Distinction, class of 2008

"Choosing the Graduate School at DEREE, I have the opportunity to obtain a master’s degree without leaving my home. I know the professors of the College are experts in their own field, so I feel confident that the MA in Communication program will have a great impact on my professional career." Natalia Revela, MA in Communication, current student

"As a DEREE College graduate with a BA in Communication I have  a good knowledge of the faculty  and the top quality of the program. I chose to continue my studies pursuing an MA in Communication at DEREE because this is a professional program which places emphasis on applied knowledge and real world cases. Unlike other programs which are mostly theoretical, I believe that this program will prepare me for a successful career as a communication expert." Dionysios Iliadis, MA in Communication, current student

"Studying at The American College of Greece, as a graduate student in the Master of Science program in Finance, I have been lectured by a highly committed faculty, who shared their professional experiences by linking theory and practice towards the real world of financial analysis. I strongly believe that the program will help to expand my personal and professional horizons. I would recommend the program for everyone who is interested in enriching his financial knowledge with academic education received by one of the best known institutions in the Greek market." Fotini Spyrou, MS in Finance, current student

"Graduating as an MBA automatically created the expectation to immediately join an employment environment which combines professional development with promising career advancement. Four years later, my expectations have been transformed into concrete facts. Most importantly, the cornerstone of my professional development remains the academic education and the business culture which I had the honor to be part of in the MBA program of the American College of Greece." Panagiotis G. Chormovitis, MBA Valedictorian, class of 2004, graduation June 2006

"My attendance in the MBA program has been a memorable experience. It proved to be the right choice, as I had the opportunity to study in a challenging and inspiring environment, with highly qualified faculty. The MBA has served as the means to broaden my horizons knowledge-wise and will be the baseline for my career advancement. DEREE’s culture has been so engaging that I feel like I will always be a part of this outstanding institution". Maria Mathioudaki, MBA Valedictorian, class of 2009
