Accelerate your success with an action-packed MBA
But do not let the compression fool you — the MBA’s timeline may have changed, but its essence remains unaltered. ASB’s unwavering commitment to excellence stands firm, and if anything, it has been enhanced. The revamped curriculum places an even stronger emphasis on doing — translating theory into action, and devising tangible solutions for real businesses. MIT Sloan has long championed this approach as “Action Learning.”
Now, experiential opportunities are streamlined, focusing on seamless progression to ensure MBA candidates not only grasp theoretical knowledge but can also effectively translate it into practical applications. First, they must lay a solid foundation. Then, they must work in larger groups to solve one collective business problem before taking on a real-world opportunity to tackle a business obstacle independently.
Another highlight — the MIT Sloan Immersion — sees learners spending up to three weeks studying in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Predominantly delivered from the heart of Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia, the program also includes one-week study treks for students to visit companies and institutions in global financial hubs.
No time to waste, no potential to squander — Asia School of Business’s (ASB) Master in Business Administration (MBA) program, in collaboration with MIT Sloan, has evolved to match the pace of ambitious career climbers. This redesign has been meticulously crafted to cater to the Asian market, where opportunity costs for regional candidates run high. By bringing the program duration down from two years to one, students can rapidly acquire indispensable skills and swiftly enter the workforce, ready to seize prospects.

“I hadn’t been to Malaysia at that point, but I knew that as far as business goes, Southeast Asia is one of the most dynamic regions in the world,” he says. “Furthermore, it was the Action Learning element of the program that got me. It’s different from working, where the stakes are high. These opportunities allow us to apply knowledge as we learn it, take risks, and be ambitious with our objectives...”

“I remember once wondering if I should pivot to another specialty, but while working on these projects, I fell in love with marketing all over again,” she says. “I was incorporating modern, analytical approaches into my creative background, and I really enjoyed that...”
