Owensboro, KY - Brescia University is now accepting applications for their new Masters in Business Administration (MBA). The first cohort of the MBA program will enter the University beginning in August 2008.

The new 15-month accelerated MBA program is designed specifically for the professional who has experience, is time-conscious, shows leadership potential and possesses strong quantitative skills. Through completing the MBA program, professionals will acquire depth and fluency in business concepts in relation to their technical skills which will prepare them for larger leadership roles.

Brescia’s new MBA replaces the Masters of Science in Management (MSM) which Brescia has offered for over a decade. “The MBA offers a more comprehensive program,” stated James Garvin, Associate Professor of Business and Chair of the William H. Thompson School of Business. “After extensive research as to what best fits the accelerated model and how Brescia could best deliver it, we’re excited to offer a high quality accelerated MBA program to the greater Owensboro community.”

The MBA program consists of 10 three-credit hour courses. The first cohort in the program will begin August 2008. The next cohort will begin in January 2009. Classes in this program are designed in a specific sequence to facilitate the assimilation of a large amount of knowledge over the 15-month time span.

Those interested in obtaining an MBA should contact Brescia University’s STARS Program Director, Greg Alvey, at (270) 686-4252 or by email, STARS@brescia.edu. STARS, an acronym for Success Tracks for Adults Returning to School, is the new umbrella for all programs serving adult learners.
