anyone else see how these four schools are uniting? i think i’m going to apply to two this fall along with my short list because of the shorter duration, experience and savings. has anyone attended these schools or a similar program? what was your experience? The China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) in Shanghai, HKUST Business School in Hong Kong, Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad, and Nanyang Business School in Singapore have traditionally competed with each other for North American applicants. But now, with growing demand for study in Asia, these schools are collaborating to promote themselves. They have formed a coalition for overseas recruiting and will attend several business school fairs here this fall.

If your goal is a position with an international focus (particularly in that region) or if you wish to relocate to those regions, I think it’s a great idea. For your more domestic US jobs I’d say resume screens may be less familiar with the name. I’d love to move to HK to work down the road so I may try doing a semester at one of those schools to pick up some Mandarin along the way.
