Samford changes schedule of night MBA program

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.

Less than IIMS may mean more for the city of B-schools.

Mumbai: The IIMS can hand over the human resource minister Murli Manohar Joshi, the decision to bar their fees by more than 80 per cent, but the city B-schools could calm smile with satisfaction.

The consensus seems to be that although the recent developments cheaply and IIM quadrupling the main seats of these institutions attracts much clearer for students, private business schools will not be abandoned.

An official of the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies repeated the refrain, indicating that NMIMS do not worry, because it receives from its 25000 candidates for 240 seats.

Even the lowest level management schools are on the bladder IIM fee cut. Sunil Karve, president of the Mumbai Educational Trust, Post-Graduate Management Programs of more than 250 students, explains: “Even if more than one hundred Bschools reputation as the country opens up, things do not change for us . Demand far exceeds supply.”

With the exception of Sydenham College and the Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies and funded by the State, private B-schools in the city tax R 94000 per year. The tax on IIMS Rs 1.5 lakhs, before the government reduced its taxes according to RS 30000 starting with the next academic year.

Management School officials indicate that over the question of pricing, the proposition that the IIMS should recognize four times the current number of students also changes the scenario B-school.
