Message from the Dean

After reading about UNI’s MBA program, does it sound like the kind of solid, practical, U.S. business education you are looking for? If so, I look forward to receiving your application!

Our faculty have over a decade of experience in Hong Kong and China. Hundreds of students have graduated form our program, many starting their own business, changing careers and successfully advancing. In each of our classes, our faculty spends a significant amount of time with you and your fellow classmates. Helping you balance your work life demands, classes are offered on weekends and evenings. If our MBA program sounds like a good fit, I encourage you to apply.

Students are working professionals, with many holding high-level management positions. In addition to its AACSB accreditation, UNIMBA has been recognized as a Best Business School by Princeton Review for 9 consecutive years and by U.S. News and World Reports as a top 100 part-time MBA program....
