The
accelerated MBA program at Daniel Webster College was developed for busy
professionals, with practical application being key to the program’s
philosophy.
Professors facilitate discussions, drawing on the professional
experiences of each student, helping them develop in-depth knowledge and
understanding of management theory and application practice. Meeting one
night a week, students learn new skills and problem-solving techniques
that can be used immediately, while they earn a solid education grounded
in the fundamentals of business and management theory. The distinctive
format of the program focuses on in-depth teaching in small groups or
cohorts that stay together and their
career. Through case studies, business simulations, presentations of
formal business and marketing plans and acting as a consultant to an
actual business as part of the capstone project, Daniel Webster College
MBA students gain the experience of applying theory to practical
problems. This combination of education and practical application is
designed to build leaders -- students graduate confident in their
intellectual abilities and prepared to understand and deal with
leadership and management challenges.
The
Daniel Webster College MBA is offered at the College’s Nashua and
Portsmouth campuses. Orientation for the next cohort is March 28, 2005.
