Degree Programs and Curriculum

ASB's curriculum for its 20-month full-time MBA program is similar to the curriculum of two-year full-time MBA programs in the United States, and is modeled after the full-time MBA curriculum at MIT Sloan.

Admissions have 40 to 45 slots available in each year's MBA intake, and all enrolled full-time residential MBA students receive some form of scholarships and financial aid, including full scholarships. Approximately 80% of ASB's students come from outside of Malaysia, and around 43% of the students are female (while other business schools in the region have student bodies that range from 35% women to 40% women). Upon graduation, students receive a Certificate of Completion issued from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and become members of the alumni organizations of both MIT Sloan and ASB.
