The Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) program at EUCLID University is specifically designed for experienced professionals, senior managers, entrepreneurs, government officials and policy‑makers who seek to master advanced strategic leadership, financial decision‑making and global business acumen without interrupting their professional career. Delivered in onsite format (in person at Gambia HQ ), this MBA combines rigorous academic content with real‑world applicability.
This MBA is not a standard US‑centric or European‑centric program. Because EUCLID is the world's only global intergovernmental treaty‑based university, our MBA curriculum is truly global: it is built with the Global South in mind, respects diverse cultures and management traditions, and avoids a narrow Western perspective. Whether you work in a multinational corporation, an international organization, a development agency or your own enterprise, this program will transform you into a highly proficient, articulate and globalized expert leader.
Meet the Mind Behind the EMBA Program
The EMBA program is lead by Prof. Momodou Mustapha Fanneh. Prof. Momodou Mustapha Fanneh is a distinguished Gambian economist and academic administrator serving as the Vice-Chancellor of EUCLID (Euclid University) at its Gambia Headquarters, a position he assumed in late 2023. Prior to this role, he was the Dean of the School of Business and Public Administration at the University of The Gambia (UTG), where he was instrumental in developing numerous graduate and post-graduate programs. Prof. Fanneh earned a Doctorate in Economics from Fordham University in New York, an MBA, an MSc in Economics, and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Transportation Engineering. His academic career includes teaching appointments as an Adjunct Professor at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and as a Teaching Fellow at Fordham University. He is also a Senior Trainer and Research Associate at the Center for Policy, Research and Strategic Studies (CepRass) in The Gambia.
