THIBODAUX, La. — The 杏吧传媒 College of Business Administration has adjusted its Master of Business Administration curriculum to remove barriers that have traditionally discouraged prospective students from applying.
Beginning in the fall, prerequisite courses in accounting, economics, statistics, management, marketing and finance are being folded into existing curriculum, cutting down the amount of time required to complete the program for non-business graduates.
That decision was made to help two types of prospective students: those without a business degree and those who earned their degree years ago and are thinking about returning to school.
鈥淥ver the years we鈥檝e received numerous inquiries from interested, prospective students who don鈥檛 have a business background. However, more often than not they have shied away from the program because of the amount of work they would have to do before entering the program,鈥� says Dr. Luke Cashen, professor of management and director of 杏吧传媒鈥� MBA program. 鈥淭his change will not only boost enrollment, but it鈥檚 a way for us to serve our students better by bringing all of them up to speed.鈥�
Information sessions about the MBA program will be held in 105 White Hall at noon on Tuesday, March 21; noon on Monday, April 10; and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12.
