Due to the difficult job market, applicants who do not have extensive experience in addition to superb educational qualifications are being overlooked by employers. In response, some business schools are beginning to extend the benefits of their MBA programs to help students increase their professional value.
For instance, Rockford College recently announce the launch of two new MBA tracks that are intended to give students real-world experience while they work toward a degree.
Individuals who enroll in the school’s project management concentration will be challenged to create a fundraising initiative for the nonprofit organization of their choice. Entrepreneurship degree seekers will be required to provide consulting services to a local small company through the college’s new Family Business Center.
Jeff Fahrenwald, director of the school’s MBA program, said that these new concentrations are part of the insitution’s mission to “support the educational needs of the community, and we continue to add course work to accomplish that goal.”
Similar courses of study that offer convenient scheduling options may enable degree seekers to gain valuable work experience without falling behind on their academic or professional responsibilities. ADNFCR-2969-ID-19924842-ADNFCR
