What our Students Say
Kendall Spencer F. Abat
Class of 2025 Full-time MBA Student / 2024 nano-MBA Student"Acquiring an MBA has always been a personal goal of mine. My career was going well, but I wanted to grow beyond what my environment offered and gain a more holistic understanding of business. I didn’t want to fully commit to an MBA without being deliberate and strategic. When I discovered GLOBIS' nano-MBA program, it felt like the perfect solution—short enough to explore without fully committing, but substantial enough to assess the investment. Now I am here in Japan as a full-time MBA student, which speaks to how meaningful the initial program was for me."
