DWC MBA students put their studies to work to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation

June 17, 2004 - Members of Daniel Webster College's Portsmouth MBA program, studying marketing research, presented funds they raised to the Arthritis Foundation.  These students, who created an "Academic Survey" as the mechanism to conduct marketing research on Rheumatoid Arthritis, enjoined physicians through the Northeast to participate in the project, to the direct benefit of the Arthritis Foundation.

Said Portsmouth director Jean Careno, "The Daniel Webster College MBA program allows students to take what they learn and apply it to real life situations in leadership, communication and decision making.  The practical applications make our courses come alive."

The college's innovative, integrated MBA program consists of 39 credit hours of graduate study that can be completed by attending classes just one night per week for 20 months.  What makes it unique is the cohort model on which it is established.  Each cohort, or class, stays together through all 13 required courses, sharing experiences every step of the way.  Each cohort has limited seats, a fixed calendar of sequenced courses, and always meets for four hours on the same night of the week.

The MBA curriculum is delivered in a format designed to strengthen the theoretical and applied knowledge of working students, using texts, research materials, case studies and personal and peer experiences.  Students benefit from the team building that comes from taking courses with the same colleagues and can plan their lives and work around a fixed academic schedule.  New MBA cohorts are starting soon.  Visit www.dwc.edu/GCDE/mba/ for more information.
