Agora University's Naguib Sawiris School of Business MBA Program Now Fully Accredited in the United States Following AEG Acquisition

BURKE, Va. - March 25, 2025 - PRLog -- Agora University is pleased to announce the acquisition of Agora Educational Group (AEG), a move that strengthens the university's commitment to delivering world-class, globally recognized education. As part of this acquisition, the prestigious Naguib Sawiris School of Business is now operating fully under Agora University, marking a new era of innovation and excellence in business education. This transition also brings a major milestone: the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program, previously accredited through a partnership with Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM) in the European Union, is now fully accredited under Agora University in the United States through the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC).

As the Chairman of Agora University, Mr. Naguib Sawiris has been a driving force behind this vision for business education that is practical, ethical, and globally relevant. His longstanding commitment to fostering high-quality education has played a pivotal role in shaping the school's future. Reflecting on this significant milestone, Mr. Sawiris shared: "Agora was established to fill in a gap of affordable high-quality education. Our dream is to continue the success we have seen at our beloved University and cultivate graduates who will truly transform their communities, countries, workplaces, and homes. We worked tirelessly to build a team of world-renowned professors to teach courses which transcend the standards of today's education."

Fr. Michael Sorial, Chancellor of Agora University, underscored the significance of this integration: "By fully integrating the Naguib Sawiris School of Business under our accreditation, we are ensuring that students receive an MBA that is both internationally respected and directly recognized within the U.S. higher education landscape. The School of Business remains rooted in a holistic, ethical, and human-centered approach, reinforcing our commitment to developing business leaders who are not only successful in their fields but who also lead with integrity, purpose, and a deep sense of responsibility to society."

Building on this vision, Dr. Emmanuel Gergis, President of Agora University, highlighted the broader impact of the acquisition: "With the integration of the Naguib Sawiris School of Business, we are equipping future business leaders with the tools to make a positive and ethical impact in our society. This transition ensures that our students benefit from enhanced faculty expertise, cutting-edge resources, and an education that bridges tradition with innovation."
