UCLA – NUS Executive MBA

Rapid globalization and the complexity of today’s competitive business environment have increased demand among senior executives for a management education that exposes them to the latest knowledge in best leadership practices and tools to meet the challenges ahead. The UCLA – NUS Executive MBA (UCLA – NUS EMBA) program does exactly that.

Developed jointly by UCLA Anderson School of Management and NUS Business School, the UCLA – NUS EMBA aims to transform your future with a truly global perspective on leadership and management. The part-time intensive program aims to prepare its participants for C-level management in organizations around the world. Participants will leave with an MBA from both the NUS Business School and UCLA Anderson School of Management – two of the world’s most respected business education institutions.

The EMBA partnership between NUS and UCLA aims to capitalize on the immense resources of two Pacific Rim powerhouse business schools in order to meet the future needs of organizational management and embark upon a challenging and intellectually stimulating voyage.

As a direct result of this approach, the UCLA – NUS EMBA consistently ranks as one of the top EMBA programs globally.
