An MBA from Singapore to NYC
By Sean McNulty
America and Singapore are long-time allies, with strong ties; Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong recently visiting Barack Obama at the White House. The two countries have striking similarities. Both were former British Colonies and immigrant societies, use English as a first language, operate on market-based economics, hold elections, are host to world-class universities, and are amongst the wealthiest countries in the world. Despite these many similarities, there are also notable differences, which my nine colleagues and I from the National University of Singapore MBA Program are looking forward to exploring in our fall semester at NYU.
