SKK GSB Ranks No. 1 in Korea for 13 Consecutive Years in FT Global MBA Rankings
SKK GSB Adds Innovative AI-Powered Courses to Curriculum
Sungkyunkwan University's SKK Graduate School of Business (SKK GSB) has been ranked the No. 1 MBA program in Korea for 13 consecutive years by the Financial Times (FT) Global MBA Rankings. It also ranked 23rd in international experience and 40th in investment value among the top 100 MBA programs in the world.
SKK GSB is constantly updating its curriculum and courses to reflect the latest trends in business. Recently, it has added new courses on "Business and Generative AI (AI) Utilization" and "Deep Learning for Business" to its full-time MBA program. These courses will teach students the fundamentals of AI, such as semantic search and image generation, as well as how to apply deep learning to real-world business problems, such as recommendation systems and natural language processing.
"AI is both a threat to existing business practices and an opportunity to create unimagined new ones," said Eric Chui, dean of SKK GSB. "AI and business analytics are a natural fit with SKK GSB's mission and vision. We will continue to reimagine and redefine MBA education in Korea."
SKK GSB offers a total of six MBA programs: Full-time MBA (1.5 years, daytime), Professional MBA (2 years, evening), Indiana University Kelley-SKK GSB EMBA (1.5 years, weekend), Business Analytics MBA (2 years, Saturday), and AI MBA (2 years, Saturday). All courses except the AI MBA are conducted 100% in English.
The Full-time MBA is a representative global MBA program with over 50% international students and 60% international faculty. With the addition of the AI and business analytics tracks, students can also prepare for the future business environment. The program has dual degree tracks with Indiana University's Kelley School of Business and EDHEC Business School in France. Through the 'Dual Degree Fellowship' created last year, outstanding students can receive full domestic tuition to pursue an MBA degree from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University.
Graduates of the Full-time MBA program have gone on to achieve remarkable success. They have started new careers at leading domestic and foreign companies such as POSCO, McKinsey & Company, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and IBM. SKK GSB is also continuously strengthening its career development programs. It provides personalized career coaching and a variety of programs for students from the moment they enter the program, as well as career services from foreign experts.
The Professional MBA, designed for working professionals who find it difficult to attend the Full-time MBA, is also a popular program. Students can develop their business expertise and global capabilities by taking MBA classes two to three times a week after work. After developing basic skills in their field for one year, they can choose a specific field such as marketing or finance to specialize in. The program offers two dual degree tracks: an MBA program at Indiana University's Kelley School in the US and an online Master of Science (MS) in Management program. Many students participate in the dual degree track.
The Kelley-SKK GSB EMBA is a joint program between Sungkyunkwan University and Indiana University. Kelley School faculty teach the courses, and graduates receive both schools' MBAs. The Business Analytics MBA program covers business data analysis knowledge and skills from the basics to application.
SKK GSB is currently accepting applications for new students in 2024 for each program. You can apply for admission information on the SKK GSB website.
