Asia School of Business in collaboration with MIT Sloan MBA

Located in Kuala Lumpur, Asia School of Business' innovative MBA program is designed to develop the next generation of leaders in the rapidly growing Southeast Asian region. ASB's MBA program is based on the rigor of MIT Sloan's curriculum with a focus on Asia's dynamic business environment. The ASB curriculum is unique in its use of Action Learning (experiential learning) as the core part of the educational process – it comprises roughly a third of the curriculum. MIT Sloan and ASB faculty teach in the program, and students take classes in both Kuala Lumpur and in MIT's campus in Cambridge. Students travel extensively throughout the program - for their Action Learning projects, industry treks in the US and China, and optional career treks in Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong.  Download our Full Time MBA brochure Unique Facets of the ASB MBA Program Award-Winning Professors Our school was founded in collaboration with MIT Sloan, which means that students learn from award-winning visiting MIT professors alongside our ASB resident faculty who are renowned leaders in their fields, extraordinary scholars and dedicated teachers committed to engaging the best minds and cultivating a global community of leaders. Action Learning Projects  Our exciting Action Learning projects allow students to travel to our corporate hosts to work on-site with them on real business projects. Students can select from over a dozen Action Learning projects spread across the world depending on their industry and subject of interest. One-third of their time will be spent outside of the classroom. US & China Study Trips As an international business school situated in the middle of the fast-growing emerging economies of Asia, understanding the linkages with the world's two largest economies is critical. ASB's students participate in compulsory week-long study trips to China and the USA to gain a better appreciation of the impact that these two powers are having on the world from an economic, business, and geopolitical perspective.

It shares similar hallmarks with the full-time program, including experiential action-based learning applied to their own companies (Learning in Action), a one-month immersion in the MIT Sloan campus in Boston, and is taught by the same faculty as the full-time program.
