MBA 40th Anniversary
Monash's elite Master of Business Administration (MBA) program enjoyed a double celebration, marking the 40th anniversary and being ranked one of the world's best for developing future leaders.
The Monash MBA's 40th year celebration took place in Melbourne. More than 200 Alumni attended the event to celebrate the longevity, success and status of one of the top MBA programs in the Asia Pacific region.
