2. SNU's BMS program provides a solid foundation in management through a multidisciplinary approach that emphasizes experiential learning, two internships (social and corporate), and a one-of-a-kind Venture Lab for entrepreneurs. It is well-regarded for its curriculum, which aspires to develop socially conscious leaders.
3. UPES' IPM, particularly its BBA-MBA in Marketing Management program , offers a complete business education with a strong industry focus, particularly in digital marketing and energy management, while also providing specialized knowledge and practical experience through internships and industrial projects.
