German university to offer joint degree with Missouri Southern

(From Southern News Service)

The president and vice president of the Ansbach University of Applied Sciences in Germany will visit Missouri Southern State University on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 17-18.

Ansbach University, located in the Free State of Bavaria and in the metropolitan region of Nuremberg, is Missouri Southern’s oldest exchange university with a bilateral partnership dating back to 1997. Ansbach has an enrollment of 2,800 and 55 full-time faculty.

President Ute Ambrosius, Vice President Sascha Müller-Feuerstein and Simon Gollisch, from the business school, will be finalizing details for a German-American Certificate in Business with the MSSU Robert Plaster School of Business. This will be the first step toward a joint master’s degree between MSSU and Ansbach.

Dr. John Groesbeck, dean of the Plaster School of Business; Dr. Chad Stebbins, director of the Institute of International Studies; and Dr. Chris Moos, associate professor of international business, visited Ansbach last year to begin the discussions for a joint certificate.

Three students from Ansbach University are attending MSSU this semester through the bilateral partnership. Ansbach has sent as many as a dozen students to MSSU in previous semesters.
