Symbiosis International University (SIU) was founded in 1971 as an international education center and has grown into a institution with 33 different campuses that service every stage of a student's education. SCDL, part of the Symbiosis educational system, services students around the world through what it calls its virtual "World Campus." SCDL emphasizes an evolving curriculum. SCDL began offering MBA education in the early 1990s and quickly developed a reputation as one of India's best post-graduate business schools.
The Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM) offers post-graduate courses in business management, which can lead to an MBA. In fact, SIBM is considered the flagship of Symbiosis International University, as it was renamed in 2006. This business school, located in Pune, is internationally recognized as one of the best post-graduate business schools in the world, according to successcds.net.
Business students seeking a MBA in human resources will take classes at SIU's Center for Management and Human Resource Development. This school has offered a MBA in human resources since 1993. Like the program offered in the Institute of Business Management, a human resources MBA typically takes two years to complete.
SIU's Institute of International Business opened in 1992. It serves two branches of MBA education--international business and marketing. Professionals who are involved in companies that work on a global scale take advantage of the programs' emphasis on business changes caused by globalization.
SIU offers several other business disciplines that do not actually lead up to a MBA. They offer business education in related fields such as insurance management, retail management, customer relationship management, instructional design, supply chain management, and entrepreneurship development and management. Most of these courses take anywhere from six months to a year to complete.
