Chicago EMBA @ Singapore

CLASS FORMAT

The format for the program varies according to your campus location; however, the curriculum is the same across the 3 campuses. During the 21-month program, you will take 15 of the 17 courses together with your colleagues at your local campus. Each student then selects two electives to complete the course of study, to be taken with the global class (all 3 campuses) in Chicago.

During four one week international sessions, students from all three campuses meet, take classes, work in study groups, and experience local culture together. There are two sessions in Chicago and one each in London and Singapore.
