Why is AIM offering a 16-month MBA? MBA students worldwide are eager to return to work and want a faster return on their investment. We have designed a shorter, intensive, and streamlined program that delivers best value for students in a shorter time than the “traditional” 2-year MBA program. Is the quality different now that the MBA program is only 16 months?

The quality is definitely better. Courses have been redesigned for more rigor. New course designs have been benchmarked against the top business schools in the world. Additionally, we have taken the essence of Asian offerings and compressed them into a more intensive program. We have incorporated numerous non-classroom activities such as live simulation, games, negotiations, and even improvisations. Finally, to ensure linkage to the real world, we have engaged external companies and practitioners to participate in field research with students. We have redesigned the MBA course’s finance, management control, and accounting to be more exacting. Students who graduate from AIM’s 16-month MBA must have at minimum the basic finance knowledge necessary for entry corporate finance or investment banking tasks. Many may actually take the CFA level 1 examinations. Even though AIM graduates might eventually select brand marketing or strategic consulting positions, they nevertheless possess fundamental skills to do the same job as a starting investment banker or corporate finance MBA position. Part of the new delivery system are intense “drill master” tutoring sessions in the evening to help students with only basic knowledge to attain higher levels of finance competence. All these combine to deliver an intense, rigorous program that gives AIM its unique advantage.
