Butterflies can reach distances that caterpillars cannot reach for their lifetimes with just a few flaps of their wings. Such an unimaginable transformation is possible only through a qualitative change over time (e.g., a caterpillar becoming a butterfly), rather than a simple quantitative change (e.g., a caterpillar growing larger). For us, however, such a qualitative transformation is not as simple as waiting for a certain amount of time, as how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. A deeply immersive experience and immense effort will make that qualitative change possible. The Sogang University Professional MBA program provides you with the time and experience of such a transformation.
Accelerated technological
advances, such as the evolution of IoT, AI, robots, and bio technologies, and
structural changes in the population, society, culture, and economic
environment, are fueling anxiety over the stability of our work, and lead to
future job and life anxiety. We pose the challenge of how to prepare for an
uncertain future. Sogang University's Professional MBA program provides
professional knowledge of various areas of business activities and the business
environment, as well as insight into trends in change. This could lead to
better results in your current work and further prepare you for the future.
I would like to explain the three dimensions of the Sogang University
Professional MBA. First is its world-class curriculum. Due to its academic
characteristics, business administration has created a great deal of knowledge
not only in schools but also in industrial practice. However, there are hardly
any media to systematically and officially spread the valuable knowledge generated
in industrial practice. Thus, the Sogang University Professional MBA not only
delivers knowledge through top-tier faculty by bringing together many working
professionals with proven content expertise and teaching ability, but has also
created a working expert track within the curriculum to provide students with
the opportunity to gain practical sense and insight.
The second reason is the network. Since most of the students comprise workers,
knowledge learning is important, but the indirect experiences and information
from other classmates in various industries are also valuable. We are making
various efforts with Wonwoohoe (Alumni Association) to build stronger
relationships between students, professors and students, and alumni and
students.
The last reason is the community service. Universities cannot exist alone in
society, and students who are members of the university will also have to
fulfill their role as members of society. Therefore, Sogang University's
Professional MBA strives to fulfill its role as a meaningful member of the
community through various practical and creative activities. Sogang
University's Professional MBA, which ceaselessly strives to become a better
program, is waiting for you.
