Employment Expert in Negotiations
Teaching in the UCLA – NUS EMBA program has been among the most rewarding experiences in my career as an educator. The wealth of experience and backgrounds among the senior and diverse group of participants enables a truly interactive learning environment in which I gain at least as much from them, and they from each other, as they learn directly from my lectures.

This program is a wonderful learning experience for the senior managers who participate and the faculty who coordinate the sessions. Our seminars combine learning from a broad range of experiences, industries, firms and professions from around the world, drawing from the recent and distant past, evaluating the present and preparing for an evolving future. The combination of conceptual and experiential sharing in an intensive format across multiple locations provides exceptional learning.

Aside from being two top ranked universities, the UCLA – NUS EMBA offered exactly what an executive like myself was looking for: diverse backgrounds, global experiences, exchanges of lessons learned. In addition, the six segments (two weeks each) allowed me to balance work and family time. What a perfect formula.
