Past News
Based on our market research and student/graduate feedback, here are some of the improvements we have made to our program recently:
Financial Services Track
To assist those students who work in banking and investment careers, we have added a new Financial Services elective track. Courses include: Financial Planning; Investments; Advanced Financial Management; and Risk Management. This track is designed for those attempting CFP certification.
Human Resources Management Course Added to the Leadership / Org Dev Track
Our graduate exit surveys indicated an interest for a class in Human Resources Management. We have added a Human Resources Management course to our Leadership/ Organizational Development elective track to be offered this summer. Students interested in people management now have another option for their elective course work.
Non-Profit Management Course Added to the Leadership / Org Dev Track
To add more emphasis in the management of Non-Profit organizations, we have added a Non-Profit Management course to our Leadership / Organizational Development elective track. Now students interested in pursuing a career in the non-profit sector can add this course as an elective.
One-Night-Per-Week Option Added
Some students said they would be interested in participating in our program, but their busy lives simply wouldn't allow them two evenings per week in the classroom. Addressing this issue, the program now has two cohorts that meet one night per week for seven weeks per class, allowing the MBA to be completed within two years.
