KCB is also received good scores in Teaching methods & materials (No. 17) and Partner schools (No. 17).

‘Follow-up’ item, in which KCB is ranked as the third, reflects the survey subject to alumni. KAIST College of Business provides lifelong learning system, seminars & forums, executive education, online knowledge service against the rapidly changing business environment. The school builds unity among alumni and their families by holding New Year ceremony, homecoming day, year-end party, and sports tournaments.

The AIC provides essential knowledge and expertise to mid and high level managers aiming to move into top-level decision making positions.

We confirm KCB as one of the global prestigious MBA since its Executive Education Program has ranked the best in Asia every year.”
