The Beginning of SMC

SMC was founded to spark a progressive new spirit in business education.

The format was clear: distance learning.

Our story began in Switzerland as the Swiss Management Center in the beginning of the century. Without history, without recognition, without reputation, but with a ton of passion, commitment, and drive – Swiss Management Center enrolled student #1 – a finance professional from Argentina thousands of kilometers away, into Europe’s first online Doctorate of Business Administration program.

Over the last 20 years, SMC has evolved into SMC Education Group, Europe’s first government-accredited online business school, and comprises of various organizations and affiliates across the world.
