What Our Students Say
Roderick Enriquez
Managing Director, Philippine National Bank - Japan / Class of 2010 Part-time MBA Program"I chose GLOBIS MBA because of its entrepreneurial and international orientation with lecturers who are actual business practitioners. After finishing my MBA at GLOBIS, I was led back to Japan to assume the country head position of my bank. This has also allowed me to realize my personal mission of helping fellow Filipinos in Japan advance their financial literacy thru financial wellness sessions."
Ivy Alvarez-Zialcita
Founder and CEO, A-Z Animal Wellness International Veterinary Corp / Class of 2023 Part-time & Online MBA Program"During the pandemic, I was completely lost. Then, a friend of mine convinced me to pursue an online MBA class. GLOBIS was my choice because of its focus on kokorozashi. I also wanted to learn more about the Japanese discipline and innovative mindset."
