Executive MBA Program in Singapore

University at Buffalo, The State University of New York:
The Singapore Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) program is offered part-time in Singapore by the University at Buffalo School of Management, The State University of New York, in conjunction with the Singapore Institute of Management Pte Ltd (SIM).

The Singapore Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) Program:
For experienced professionals seeking to optimize their qualifications and skill sets, the EMBA is the ideal platform for propelling careers to the next level. The program goes well beyond basic knowledge, focusing on application of theories and skills, particularly in the core areas of finance, marketing, human resources and information technology.

- Strategic Leadership Development: A unique feature of the Singapore Executive MBA program is the incorporation of the Strategic Leadership Development (SLD) sequence within the program. The SLD is a trio of leadership-oriented course modules that centers on integrating the essential skills and disciplinary knowledge required for success in senior-level management.

Program Curriculum:
Core courses cover materials that can be used by managers of all functions to solve day-to-day problems and manage long-term strategic issues. Complex but realistic problems are explored through the use of cases, computer software, simulations and team discussions. Relevant advanced theories may be assigned as background readings. All courses emphasize verbal and written communication, including graphics and multimedia presentations.

Global and ethical perspectives are included throughout the curriculum. Whenever possible, assignments are related directly to your actual work. This enables you to make immediate, substantive contributions to your employer while enhancing your own performance in the EMBA program.

Program Structure:
Each Executive MBA class progresses in cohort fashion through the program. Class time for almost all courses is compressed into two-week modules scheduled over a two-year period. You are expected to complete significant work outside the classroom—formal study-group time is necessary to facilitate this work.

Learning is supported with textbooks, notes, access to UB’s online resources, SIM’s library and electronic information databases and ongoing virtual communication with the faculty. The accredited EMBA degree requires completion of a total of 16 courses (48 credit hours).
