MBA program revamped for fall

麻豆视频's Master of Business Administration (MBA) has been revised to better serve the needs of working students. Starting Fall 2000, it will be a 30 hour program made up of eight required courses and two out of four electives. These changes are expected to increase the flexibility of this part-time evening program, according to Dr. Jackie Eastman, director of the program.

Additionally, the College of Business Administration will begin offering a collaborative WebMBA program with four other Georgia universities starting this fall. This WebMBA program will be in addition to the part-time on-campus evening program. The Georgia WebMBA Consortium includes 麻豆视频, Georgia Southern University, Kennesaw State University, the State University of West Georgia and Georgia College and State University. All of the Consortium members currently offer MBA programs accredited by the AACSB-the International Association for Management Education.
