Putra Business School

Putra Business School is located in Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia.

The institution's history and evolution reflect a journey of growth, innovation, and impact within the business education landscape. Established in 1987 as a graduate school of management within a larger university, it initially focused on offering postgraduate programs in business administration, aiming to prepare graduates for leadership roles in a rapidly evolving global economy. In its early years, the school laid the groundwork for a robust curriculum designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and practical experience necessary to thrive in the world of business. By 2012, the institution had reached a pivotal moment in its development. It was granted full autonomy, transitioning from a graduate school of management to an independent business school. This transformation granted the institution greater flexibility in designing academic programs, enabling it to respond more rapidly to changing market needs and emerging trends in the business world. The shift to full autonomy also allowed the school to expand its range of programs, offer more diverse learning opportunities, and enhance its global competitiveness.

With a strong commitment to academic excellence, the business school quickly became known for its rigorous, research-driven approach to business education. It placed a strong emphasis on producing not only skilled professionals but also innovative thinkers capable of addressing complex business challenges in an increasingly interconnected world. By cultivating a culture of intellectual curiosity and practical problem-solving, the school attracted a growing number of students, both local and international, who sought high-quality education with a global perspective. Over time, the institution's emphasis on academic rigor and its alignment with industry trends helped establish it as a key player in the region's business education ecosystem. Recognizing the importance of global standards, the school sought accreditation from leading international bodies. In 2013, it earned accreditation from the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), a prestigious mark of quality for business schools worldwide. This recognition placed the school in an elite group of institutions, signifying its commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and leadership.

In addition to AACSB, the institution also pursued and received accreditation from ABEST21 (The Alliance on Business Education and Scholarship for Tomorrow, a 21st-century organization), further solidifying its reputation and ensuring that its programs adhered to the highest international standards. These accreditations not only affirmed the institution's academic quality but also enhanced its visibility and appeal to prospective students and faculty worldwide. The institution's academic offerings have continued to evolve, with a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and executive education programs designed to meet the diverse needs of the business community. Areas of specialization include finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, management, and information systems, among others. The school has also placed a strong focus on fostering leadership skills, ethical decision-making, and social responsibility, ensuring that its graduates are equipped to make a positive impact on society as well as in the business world.
