perspectives of a business at a high level. My expectation
was exceeded. I truly enjoy the time diving in the knowl-
edge from the program, which has proven the investment
I made here is the life changing opportunity to my future
with real-life experience. This course has enabled me to
progress in my career and connect with lots of talented
fellows from other big companies in the country. I'm
grateful to WSU for bringing the world-class qualified
course to Vietnam.”

"As a pharmacist who specialized in drug manufactur-
ing and clinical medication, I realize that pursuing busi-
ness studies will help me a lot in my career as a Market-
ing Manager. Indeed, from the very first class, I was
overwhelmed by the level of personal commitment
required by the faculty and being surrounded and moti-
vated by my excellent classmates also help push myself
to try harder each day. Plus, I'm sure that the opportuni-
ty to talk and listen to our professors and other leading
industry experts won't come often outside of class. I
believe there is no better MBA program in Vietnam so I
grabbed this chance to prepare myself for a future
career breakthrough!"

and enrolling in ISB's WSU-MBA program. It has been a great
learning experience for me, and I have enjoyed the practical
aspects of the program as much as the substantial amount
of company-based research through which we gained a
deeper understanding of the intricate workings of Vietnam-
ese and foreign companies.”
