RTU Riga Business school – the first choice for management education in the Baltics

Established in 1991 in cooperation with the State University of New York at Buffalo, USA and the University of Ottawa, Canada, Riga Business school is a management–education institution within Riga Technical University (RTU). It was the first higher education institution in the Baltics to offer MBA programs in English, granting its graduates an internationally recognized Masters of Business Administration degree.

„Strong commitment to high quality, the principles of North American MBA programs and all courses presented in English make RBS distinctive,” says RBS director Janis Grevins.
