Re: Bowling Green State University’s College of FULL TIME MBA PROGRAM

FULL TIME MBA PROGRAM

The Full Time MBA
BGSU’s MBA program can be completed in as little as 14 months of full-time study. The program serves students with a wide variety of academic and work backgrounds. Although many students in the program possess some professional work experience, none is required for admission.

Our program offers a broad curriculum that provides graduates an understanding of the major business disciplines as well as the opportunity to pursue a formal area of specialization. Some of the more popular features our students enjoy include:

14 required courses regardless of undergraduate major.
Core curriculum begins in July and concludes the following August, just 14 months later.
Intensive professional development seminars that prepare students for successful professional careers.
Tuition assistance through graduate assistantships (typically 90% of students receive significant financial assistance).
Specializations (available in Accounting, Finance and Organizational Change) provide students the opportunity to focus their studies.
Small class sizes, typically 40 students or less, allows for greater interaction with faculty.
Cohort approach encourages networking and team building among students.
A diverse student body that brings the world to the classroom (typically 12-14 countries represented).
Unlike some MBA programs that instill a highly competitive atmosphere among their students, Bowling Green State University’s full-time program is designed to foster a spirit of cooperation among students. Each semester students are part of a cohort of peers that share a common schedule. The cohort experience contributes to the development of skills in communication and teamwork as well as promotes valuable networking abilities that are critical in any career.

In addition to the core curriculum, the program includes modules on leadership assessment and development, computer skills, international business principles, and the foundations of ethical leadership. Students also take part in a series of co-curricular professional development seminars, covering topics such as oral presentation and report writing, team facilitation, effective negotiations, career planning, and organizational politics.

The BGSU MBA program is well-respected for its quality and commitment to the student experience. Highlights of this recognition include:

AACSB-International Accreditation: Only 20% of schools worldwide meet this high level of achievement.
Listed in the 2007 and 2008 editions of Princeton Review List of Best Business Schools including a #5 ranking in 2008 for “Greatest Opportunities for Minority Students”.
BGSU’s Supply Chain Management program named #16 best program in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
