- Asian Leaders Rush to Korea MBA Schools!
- Asian Leaders Rush to Korean MBA Schools! ■ SKKU Business School accredited first in Korea In December 1997 the SKKU Business School was the first program of its kind in Korea to be accredited by the Korean Ministry of Education. As business becomes increasingly global, opportunities are emerging for a new breed of business strategists. SKKU Business School has two full-time programs, the Asia MBA and SKK Graduate School of Business (GSB) MBA, and two part-time programs, the Evening MBA (EMBA) and iMBA. SKK GSB has benchmarked its curriculum after MIT Sloan, one of the top MBA programs in the world, and has been collaborating with Indiana Kelley Business School as well. Even though GSB is part of the SKKU Business School, it runs independently as an authentic American–style MBA program, and it is in positive competition with Asia MBA, according to Sungkyunkwan University. ■ Asia MBA program produces business leaders for Asia region The Asia MBA program is one of the best business graduate degree programs in Korea. This dynamic, innovative program positions graduates to capitalize on opportunities in this new era of an Asia-driven international economy. Admission to this program requires passing an English interview. All courses are taught in English and Asia MBA students acquire global mindsets and knowledge through Asia study trips, internships and various exchange programs. The Asia MBA is characterized by mutual cooperation with prestigious MBA schools in Asia like Thammasat University in Thailand, University of Melbourne in Australia, Peking University in China, Waseda University in Japan, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology among others. Asia MBA students visit companies and several partner universities and attend lectures from renowned local professors through study trips offered every semester. One of the strong points of the Asia MBA program is that students gain international experience through the international educational atmosphere created by studying with international students from all over the world, including students from China, America, Mexico, the Czech Republic, European countries and others. ■ EMBA, the most innovative evening MBA program The EMBA (Evening MBA) helps businesspeople and executives to master the skills to become international leaders. This MBA degree can be earned by attending one or two lectures a week over a two-year period. Friday Special Lectures is a unique course of the EMBA program which invites prominent, innovative leaders who provide insight into their leadership experiences as well as refined knowledge of business, culture and the arts. In addition, the EMBA offers Innovative Cases of Enterprises in which each team of five members runs a research project over one year focusing on the innovative cases of enterprises. Full-time business school faculty provide more than 70% of the lectures ensuring the EMBA program offers professional education and the highest quality lectures to students. Lectures begin at 7:00 PM and end at 11:00PM weekdays. In order to graduate, students must get a minimum B average, pass the English exam, submit the innovation report (3rd and 4th semester), and acquire 45 credits. ■ iMBA, the Internet based MBA iMBA is the highest quality 100% on-line MBA degree program in Korea. This program is designed for students who are unable to come to campus to attend lectures. This is the perfect MBA program for students facing limitations of time and place. The iMBA program was established in 2003 and has graduated over 600 students. All lectures are delivered by SKKU full-time business school faculty. iMBA students and faculty communicate through video Q&A sessions with the iMBA offering weekend on/off-line lectures and a tutor system for students’ convenience. The iMBA program is well known for its problem-solving teaching method and strict school affairs. SKKU full-time faculty aim to maximize core competences and problem-solving skills through immersion and case-centered education rather than the traditional one-way theory-centered teaching method. Through Asia MBA and GSB, Sungkyunkwan University aims to offer the best Asia-focused MBA program and to be among the world’s top 100 MBA programs by 2015. 「Source – excerpt from Financial News August 20th, 2010』 ● 인터뷰 동영상 : http://www.fnnews.com/view?ra=Sent1501m_View&corp=fnnews&arcid=100820172448&cDateYear=2010&cDateMonth=08&cDateDay=22

- SKKU Business School ranked over SNU in BK21 evaluation
- On September 3, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology announced that the Global Business Leader Program of SKKU Business School has taken 2nd place, over both Seoul National University (SNU) and Sogang University, in the 4th Annual Evaluation of the 2nd phase of BrainKorea 21 (BK21). The program’s 2nd place ranking guarantees BK21 support for various projects during the upcoming fifth year of the program. BK21 is a government program aimed at producing Korea’s next generation of creative leaders. The program supports students in Master's and PhD degree courses as well as post-graduate researchers. Based on the achievements of the 1st phase (1999-2005), the 2nd phase (2006-2012) of BK21 will further facilitate the introduction and establishment of systems at research-oriented universities. BK 21 recognizes the necessity to develop Korea's human resources in key areas, such as core and original technologies, as well as new growth engines, which will drive future economic growth. SKKU Business School MBA has differentiated its program into a unique Korean MBA competing with SNU, Korea University, and Yonsei University in order to meet BK21’s objective to develop qualified human resources and specialized world-class research–oriented universities. SKKU Business School’s 2nd place ranking is especially meaningful in light of the many project teams that have dropped out due to the tightening evaluation criteria. On the basis of this accomplishment, SKKU Business School is confident to achieve its goal of being ranked among the top 100 business schools worldwide.
