The Online Master in Business Administration (OMBA) program, based in the Philippines, delivers a complete MBA experience through live, synchronous classes, offering students the flexibility to learn at their own convenience wherever they may be. Its innovative online approach to teaching and learning allows students to start and finish their MBA education from anywhere in Asia or around the world.

The OMBA program is for:

Professionals who want to earn an MBA degree with a flexible schedule that fits their busy life and other commitments.
