JAKARTADAILY.ID – The Asia School of Business (ASB), in partnership with the MIT Sloan School of Management, invites Indonesian professionals to apply for its unique 12-month MBA program. The program, the only one of its kind in Southeast Asia, combines rigorous academic coursework with hands-on Action Learning projects across the region.

Various research indicates that Indonesia is facing a growing demand for skilled business leaders, with local companies increasingly supporting employees pursuing higher education. An estimated 80% of businesses in the country back such initiatives, while MBA graduates see average salary increases of 25–40 percent, among the highest in the region.

“In an era where Indonesia’s need for qualified business leaders is more critical than ever, ASB’s MBA program offers a rare combination of theoretical and practical learning,” said Sanjay Sarma, CEO, President, and Dean of ASB.

The program includes an immersive experience at MIT Sloan in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Action Learning projects across Southeast Asia, providing participants with a blend of global and regional insights. Tuition is set at $35,000, covering course materials, accommodation during the MIT immersion, and travel for international projects.

For those seeking additional expertise, ASB offers an MBA+ extension, allowing students to pursue an extra semester or a Master of Science in Management Studies at MIT Sloan.

Jakarta-based graduate Ivan Ramdhani, 37, praised the program’s impact.

“The ASB MBA experience was transformative. The combination of intensive coursework, practical Action Learning projects, and the MIT Sloan immersion provided me with a comprehensive understanding of global and regional business practices. This holistic experience not only broadened my perspective but also played a crucial role in securing my current leadership role,” he said.
