As disruption in higher education and throughout the world continues, now is the time for leaders and staff from all types of master’s degree programs that serve executives and working professionals to come together and exchange ideas that help strengthen all programs.
To serve that end, EMBAC is launching a new professional development offering, the Asia Summit, set for July 9-10 in Shanghai, thanks to our hosting partner CEIBS.
