“This program is different from most MBA programs in Thailand in that upon completion, students will receive two MBA degrees, one from Naresuan University and one from Southern Cross University. The dual-degree MBA program focuses on creating highly skilled graduates who can contribute to an organization upon graduation and for many years to come. It is designed with students in mind. We have taken the traditional MBA and added relevance to both Thailand and the world as a whole and offer an academic rigor that meets students’ needs.”

“The Illinois MBA has designed course modules that cover all aspects of business. Rather than taking separate courses in finance, accounting, and marketing, you take one all-inclusive course during consecutive eight-week modules—team-taught by experts in each field-enabling you to focus on core concepts and discover how they interact in practice. This unique curriculum helps develop your situational decision making and prepares you to be an effective business leader.”

“The Lisbon MBA is a joint effort from the two top Portuguese business schools - Católica and Nova - and the MIT Sloan School of Management. This partnership with MIT is reflected in the design of the program, in the global perspective given to the curriculum and in the period spent in Boston, attending classes on MIT's campus. The design of the program includes an immersion period at MIT, in the United States, allowing participants to study across two continents and turning this program into a truly diversified learning experience.”
