Embrace redefined flexibility with our Online MBA, accessible from anywhere in the world. Experience tailored discussions and a transformative curriculum while benefiting from the convenience of remote learning, reduced costs, and a diverse global network.
Designed to be immersive, involved, and comprehensive for professionals like you
The Online Master in Business Administration (OMBA) program delivers a complete MBA program through live synchronous classes, offering students the flexibility to learn at their own convenience. Its innovative online approach to teaching and learning allows students to start and finish their MBA education anywhere in Asia or the world. Despite its online nature, OMBA is still an intensive 18-month, 6-term program where students complete preparatory, core, and capstone courses through an integrative curriculum that ties together the fundamentals of management with an understanding of the complexities within companies, industries, and economies.
The OMBA program is for:
- Professionals who want to earn an MBA with a flexible schedule that fits their busy life and other commitments.
- Individuals who wish to study the same core courses offered by our flagship International Master in Business Administration (iMBA), but can only attend classes online.
- Students who prefer the use of digital tools that enable engaging and effective online learning anytime and anywhere.

Dual Degree Program
The Dual Degree Program provides OMBA students with the opportunity to pursue two degrees. They have the option to further their studies by earning a Master of Advanced Management (MAM) degree at Yale School of Management through coordination with the Washington SyCip Graduate School of Business (WSGSB). Students with this dual degree gain an even greater competitive edge over their peers and can count on accelerating their careers even further upon graduation.
Business Competitions
Our students have won many international competitions, and we strongly encourage our OMBA students to participate in various local and international competitions arranged by business schools and organizations. We provide support to students for select competitions.
