Samford University’s Brock School of Business is changing the schedule of its evening MBA program.
The graduate program - taken often by working professionals - is being revamped into two semesters that are nine weeks each with a 10-week summer semester, the school reported Thursday.
The program used to have five, nine-week terms in a year.
Under the new schedule, each course will meet for a two-hour class each week, giving students more time to study and learn the material, school officials said.
“We have retained the flexibility and convenience for working professionals through the option of attending one evening a week,” said Larry Harper, director of Graduate and Executive Education Programs at the Brock School of Business in a news release. “In addition, students can complete the degree in as little as 12 months by attending full-time or 22 months by attending part-time.”
The new curriculum covers all business functions and is designed to offer a more complete general management experience. Students also learn to exercise ethical business practices.
“Managers need comprehensive skills and sound values in order to achieve the disparate goals of their investors, customers, employees and the public at large,” said Beck A. Taylor, dean of the Brock School of Business. “At the Brock School, our charge is to help current and aspiring managers to discover solutions that meet these goals.”
The evening MBA program is the oldest in the state of Alabama and takes applications year round. Students can enter the program in January, June and August.

The corporate world is undergoing a crisis in ethics and values and educational institutions alone can arrest further deterioration, said Dr Karan Singh, MP, while inaugurating the three-day 14th Annual Management Education Convention of the Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS). Aspiring managers need a dose of values along with the regular curriculum fare, he said. Mr Vishnukant Shastri, Governor, UP, called upon academicians to go back to India’s ancient scriptures and include lessons from ancient texts in management education. Fr E Abraham SJ, director of Xavier Institute Of Management, Bhubaneswar, who has been appointed president of AIMS, said,”The need of the hour is to improve the quality of management education in India. We should stress on having a pragmatic management curriculum in B-schools.
