The University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business will move its Asia Executive M.B.A. program from Singapore to Hong Kong, making it the latest institution to move a program away from the city-state after setting down roots there. The Singapore campus, which opened in 2000, will stop accepting executive M.B.A. candidates, though the university said in its announcement that it was exploring space options for holding some activities in Singapore after the program moves.
A joint degree run by New York University (NYU) and the National University of Singapore (NUS), awarding a master of laws degree from both universities, had benefited just nine Singaporeans since the one-year postgraduate degree was launched in 2007, Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang revealed last week.
