April 9, 2015 marked the birth of ASB, with the collaboration between Bank Negara Malaysia and MIT Sloan School of Management (MIT Sloan). ASB was founded in response to the need for qualified, industry-ready talents to fill the needs of the exponential growth and opportunities of Asia. Integrating the MIT DNA by bringing theory and practice together, the same core courses that are delivered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA are taught in ASB’s MBA full-time and MBA for Working Professionals degree programs. Both MIT Sloan’s world-renowned faculty and ASB’s residential faculty teach this rigorous curriculum.
