Why Our MBA?

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme of the Graduate School of Business (GSB), The University of the South Pacific (USP) has become a market leader among Pacific Island states with an excellent regional reputation for quality and relevance. These characteristics have contributed greatly to the rise in enrolments over the decade and to the graduation of over 2131 students. The programme not only makes a much-needed and appreciated contribution to addressing the shortage of skilled managers in the region but also gives kudos and a healthy flow of funds to USP. At a personal level, graduates reported their high appreciation of the blending of theory and practice while the 2007 Tracer Study found that USP’s MBA graduates experienced an average 66 percent salary increase compared to their pre-MBA incomes. Staff on the MBA programme, both academic and administrative, were found to be well qualified, able, and highly committed. They have been keys to the success of the programme.
