WWU to hold MBA info session in Everett July 26
Western Washington University is holding an information session for the Everett based Master in Business Administration program from 6 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 26, at University Center of North Puget Sound, Gray Wolf Hall, Room 380, 2000 Tower St., in Everett.
Classes begin in January 2012; interested applicants are encouraged to apply now to ensure all enrollment requirements are met by the application deadline of Nov. 15.
Western’s MBA program has proven popular with Snohomish area students who appreciate the weekend-based class schedule and the instructors who are full-time faculty members of Western’s College of Business and Economics.
"The convenient location, outstanding instruction and flexibility of meeting on alternating weekends provide students the opportunity to balance work, family and their pursuit of an MBA. The program is tailored to meet the needs of professional working adults,” said Juergen Kneifel, a current MBA student in WWU’s Everett program.
Another current Everett MBA student, Krista McCabe, said, “I considered all the factors I could think of: Small cohort size, general business degree, flexibility and reputation of program, cost, every-other weekend schedule, location, ease of application process. I had considered other MBA programs and nothing could really offer the combined package that Western could.”
The MBA program at Everett meets Friday afternoon and evening and all day Saturday, every other weekend for five weekends per quarter for eight quarters, with traditional quarter breaks. Western has positioned its MBA program to be affordable and it is intended for managers and professionals. No particular specialization or management level is required, which enables the program to attract a diverse group where different perspectives enrich the learning climate.
Administered under the direction of Craig Dunn, associate dean and director of Graduate Programs at Western’s College of Business and Economics, and Dan Purdy, associate director of MBA Programs, the program has served to further expand, throughout the Puget Sound Region, Western’s reputation for excellence.
The WWU MBA Program has been offering graduate business education in the Pacific Northwest for 30 years. WWU’s program is AACSB accredited, placing it in the top 5 percent of business schools in the world, and it has been ranked in the top 100 programs worldwide by the Aspen Institute.
The Information Session will be held from 6-7 p.m. on July 26 at University Center of North Puget Sound, Gray Wolf Hall, Room 380, 2000 Tower Street, Everett.
