Who Wants to go to Saturday School?

CSULB's College of Business Administraion (CBA) will be starting a master of business administration (MBA) degree program on Saturdays this fall semester, according to the CSULB website. This innovative approach will strive to teach students more then the usual MBA curriculum entails.

“There was a time when just learning about business concepts and mastering a single functional specialty was adequate for personal success," said David A. Horne, College of Business Administration MBA director and marketing professor. A majority of MBA programs teach students a fundamental set of business skills and then concentrate on advancing knowledge in a single field, such as accounting or marketing.

"However, business leaders now tell us, that for managers and recent graduates to differentiate themselves, they must develop a broad perspective to effectively solve organization-wide business problems,” said Horne.

This accelerated program will meet once a week for two classes a day during the 14-week semester. In addition to being provided with free textbooks and materials, students of this new program will have access to a writing resource center that is exclusively for MBA students.

This 21-month program is accredited by the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International).
