MBA programs offer global study opportunities

In Singapore, MBA's are highly desired by working managers. With the development of a global economy, many students are seeking out programmes that offer international study. The UK Financial Times reports that one example of this newer style of MBA is the EMBA, a joint venture between Columbia Business School in New York and London Business School. Hong Kong University Business School will now be included in the EMBA as part of the EMBA Global Asia programme.

This new program will feature courses taught from all three locations, offering a new global perspective. Additionally, students will actually study in all three locations, as well as central Shanghai, China. However, many business schools have found that working with China to set up joint programmes has been extremely difficult and have pulled out.

Other similar EMBA educational programmes include a new teaming of Esade, Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service and McDonough School of Business, a US-Spanish joint project.
