The MBA program at ASB
Classes in this 2 year residential program are designed for the students to inculcate the skills of entrepreneurship and business management through five domains – accounting, finance, marketing, human resources and operations management. The course offers challenging curriculum focused beyond global strategic thinking and analysis.
