CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY

'Central European University' is a US-licensed and accredited university based in Budapest, Hungary. It states that its goal is to contribute to the development of open societies in post-Communist countries by education.
CEU was established in 1991 with campuses in Prague, Czech Republic, and Budapest, Hungary, after an idea of several Central European intellectuals received financial support from George Soros. Following political pressure from the Czech government of Vaclav Klaus, in 1996 the University's Prague-based faculties moved to Budapest.
As of 2003, Central European University had 100 faculty and 926 students from 76 countries. It offers Master's and Ph.D programs in social sciences, law, business, environmental sciences and policy, public policy and mathematics. The official language used at CEU is English.
Soros has endowed CEU with a total of €420 million [1] (which includes €20 million dedicated to the business school). This is believed to be largest private donation to a university in Europe.
The CEU Business School was established independently of CEU in 1988 as the International Management Center (IMC), and was the first institution behind the Iron Curtain to award American-style MBA degrees.
