MBA INFORMATION SESSION SET FOR ASHEVILLE

Western Carolina University’s Master of Business Administration program will hold information sessions in Asheville for prospective students this spring. The program accepts both full-time and part-time students, and the degree can be completed in 34 months on a part-time track and 16 months on a full-time track. Courses are taught at UNC Asheville.

Dr. Steve Ha, program director, and Kelly McIntyre, program coordinator, will lead the information sessions. The sessions will cover the advantages of WCU’s “hands-on” MBA, which was reorganized beginning fall 2009 as a response to the challenges facing Western North Carolina and the regional economy. With prerequisite courses now eliminated, the program is designed to be integrative and interdisciplinary with a goal of creating independent, lifelong learners who are Business-Ready® to assume leadership positions.

The final spring 2011 information session will be held in Room 113 of Karpen Hall on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Asheville from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 31. Individual appointments are available during business that day.

Each event will include a presentation as well as time for questions. Individuals who plan to attend a session or would like an individual appointment are asked to register by e-mail to kumcintyre@wcu.edu with the date and time they would like to attend.

For more information, contact Kelly McIntyre, MBA program coordinator, at 828-227-3588, or WCU Programs in Asheville at 828-251-6642.
