SINGAPORE, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For many ambitious professionals, the moment comes quietly, between board meetings, project deadlines, or late-night strategy calls. It's the realisation that to lead in today's fast-changing world, it's no longer enough to simply keep pace. One must stay ahead. For working professionals across Asia, that realisation has led them to a unique and trusted pathway: the 18-month online MBA from University of Massachusetts Global (UMass Global), delivered in collaboration with Emeritus.

What makes this program stand out isn't just its ranking or reputation—though it's been ranked among the best universities for online programs for 13 consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report (2013–2025).* It's how it weaves academic excellence into the rhythm of busy lives. Many students are senior professionals working full time in the UAE, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia, and beyond. Yet in just 18 months, through a six-to-eight-hour weekly commitment, they join a global network, sharpen their leadership edge, and earn a U.S.-accredited MBA recognized by World Education Services (WES).

 Based on a 2024 Alumni Survey, 95% of UMass Global students work while completing their programs.* UMass Global programs are specifically designed for working adults, allowing one to seamlessly balance education with their professional and personal commitments. Live sessions and simulations ensure that the virtual classroom doesn't just inform. It transforms.

The partnership with Emeritus deepens this impact. With its proven expertise in executive education, Emeritus brings a human touch to online learning, creating spaces where conversations flow, ideas are tested, and leadership skills are shaped in real time. Participants often describe the experience as collaborative, not competitive; rigorous, but never isolating.

Graduates say the program advanced their careers and helped them reimagine their paths entirely. With a global alumni network of over 39,000, opportunities continue long after graduation. A survey found 88% of alumni would recommend UMass Global, reflecting its quality, support, and career-focused outcomes*.

In a world where leadership demands adaptability, vision, and courage, the MBA from University of Massachusetts Global has become more than a credential, it's a catalyst. For those ready to lead from the front, it offers not just knowledge, but the momentum to turn ambition into lasting impact. Learn more about the program
