Starting in 2013, the restructured Full-time Global MBA program will offer a wider array of choices in the Asia-Pacific region with internships and study abroad opportunities in a variety of countries. Students will be able to pick country-specific tracks and those interested in experiencing a robust international education can take a semester of classes at one of our partner schools and work at a professional internship in a growing number of Asian countries such as China, Japan and Vietnam. Students will also be able to take advantage of the excellent Japanese or Chinese language courses offered at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa.
