The Romanian-American University and Envisia – Business School form a partnership and announce a premier in Romania: the first board member professionalization program accredited by the Ministry of Education and Research and the National Qualifications Authority – the postgraduate program "Corporate Governance that Creates Value".
The program "Corporate Governance that Creates Value" was launched four years ago by Envisia – Business School, the first business school in Central and Eastern Europe dedicated to professionalizing board members and promoting corporate governance best practices, in collaboration with the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Designed to develop and refine the skills required for board members and top-tier professionals in governance structures, the program has since earned strong recognition in business (private and public) and the financial services industry, with nine series and over 130 graduates to date.
The 10th edition of the “Corporate Governance that Creates Value” (“Corporate Governance in Practice”) Program, which benefits now of the recognition of the Ministry of Education and Research and academic accreditation through its partnership with the Romanian-American University, as well as recognition of the capital markets industry through Envisia’s ongoing partnership with the Bucharest Stock Exchange, is set to launch on May 29, 2025. Board members and professionals who are working with boards are invited to enroll online by May 26 athttps://www.rau.ro/envisia.
In its 34 years since founding, the Romanian-American University, one of the top-performing higher education institutions in the country, has contributed significantly to the development of the business environment and labor market, with over 50,000 graduates across its faculties. Expanding its academic portfolio with an educational program tailored for the corporate governance elite, directly applicable in strategic leadership, in partnership with Envisia, and its accreditation by the Ministry of Education, reinforces the university’s mission to deliver education at the highest standards of quality.
“The accreditation of Envisia’s program, through the partnership with the Romanian-American University, marks a moment of maturity and a defining milestone in the advancement of academic and professional education in the field of corporate governance. Moreover, it reconfirms and validates the mission that Envisia – Business School has upheld since its founding: to professionalize the role of board members through specialized programs and courses aligned with international quality standards in the field. I consider that the accreditation comes at a highly opportune moment, especially as Romania has recently received the formal endorsement of the Corporate Governance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)—a critical step in the country’s accession process, in which specialized education in corporate governance plays a key role. We are honored to have the Romanian-American University—a benchmark of academic excellence and educational innovation—as our partner, and we are confident that together, we can make a meaningful contribution to strengthening a responsible and professional governance environment in Romania,” stated
