Earn Chicago MBA

Considering that the 'University of Chicago Graduate School of Business', is a Nobel Prize winning powerhouse of learning, and is recognised for producing world-changing ideas and extremely well-prepared graduates, admission to an MBA course in the School is indeed a challenging task. For students of the Asia-Pacific region, who wish to do an executive MBA at the School, can do so at the Singapore campus of the School, besides pursuing the course at Chicago and Barcelona campuses.Education Times spoke to Beth Bader, managing director, Asia (Singapore University) about the programme.What is the EMBA course?The EMBA programme was introduced by Chicago GSB back in 1943. In fact, Chicago is the first country to offer a globally-integrated MBA degree through its three campuses in three continents. EMBA programme caters to those who do not want to interrupt their ongoing career. Designed for the experienced personnel with an advanced level of knowledge and business management skills, it is a general management part-time programme, that gives in-depth knowledge of business fundamentals, sharp analytical skills and creative solutions. What are the special features of EMBA programme at Singapore university?Its best part is that now aspirants need not go to Chicago for the MBA degree. Besides, the programme at the Singapore campus gives aspirants - with 10 or more years of business experience - an opportunity to learn from the same faculty that we have at the Chicago GSB. The curriculum followed is same as in our full-time programmes. What is the duration of the programme and the fee?Coursework includes a 16-week classroom experience spread over 20 months. Students will have the chance to study at all three locations and a first-hand experience of how business is conducted around the world. About 85 students are admitted to the course at each campus in July. The fee at the Singapore campus is US $ 75, 000, which does not include living costs. www.gsb.uchicago.edu/exec MBAasia
