Hong Kong New Home for Chicago Booth EMBA in Asia: MBA News main image
The University of Chicago's Booth School of Business will relocate its executive MBA (EMBA) program in Asia from its campus in Singapore to a new base in Hong Kong, along with other programming including research entrepreneurship, remote teaching, custom executive training, and alumni events.
The school's Singapore campus has been operating for the past 13 years, however the relocation of the Chicago Booth EMBA in Asia does not spell an end for the Singapore campus, but rather an expansion of the school's presence within Asia.
Chicago Booth's Asia Expansion
“Thanks to the success of our Asia program, Chicago Booth has built great momentum in Southeast Asia and developed a strong alumni base in the region,” says Sunil Kumar, Chicago Booth's dean and the George Pratt Shultz Professor of Operations Management. “Expanding into Hong Kong allows us to have impact on future leaders in business and build new corporate relationships in North Asia as well, complementing our activities.”
The new Hong Kong location for the Chicago Booth EMBA and other operations is particularly attractive as a result of its close geographical and political ties with China, according to the school. This will build upon opportunities opened up by the university's opening of the Center in Beijing in 2010, which the university says "has fostered collaborative work of faculty and students across the full range of the university, with colleagues and institutions in China and beyond."
Current students on the Chicago Booth EMBA program in Asia will continue to be taught at the Singapore campus until the end of their studies, while the EMBA course content will not change substantially.
"In Hong Kong, the Asia executive MBA program and curriculum will follow the same structure as Booth’s other executive MBA programs," the school says. "Students from the Asia program interact closely with students in the North American and European programs, spending three weeks together in Chicago and one week in London. Executive MBA students from the other campuses will spend a week studying in Hong Kong."
