Beginning in January 2008, the Clayton State University School of Business will be offering its new Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program in Peachtree City.

The MBA program is already on the fast track. The school designed the MBA for working professionals who will be able to complete the rigorous curriculum in 20 months. Although the program was expected to begin this semester with 20 students, an overwhelming response of competitive applicants for the program led to admitting 35 students as the first on-campus cohort in Morrow. New cohorts will be offered on campus and in Peachtree City beginning with the spring 2008 semester in January, 2008. Those professionals choosing the Fayette County cohort will experience first class conference center amenities at Aberdeen Woods.

The Clayton State University School of Business will hold an open house for individuals interested in its MBA program Sept. 27, from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in University’s Administration Building on the main campus in Morrow.

Clayton’s State’s School of Business faculty, with a blend of academic and real-world experience, will teach the 11-course curriculum, which will be offered on alternate Saturdays. The classes are Web-enhanced so that the student’s total visits to the classroom will be approximately 45 days in a 20-month period.

“It’s a great value for the money. Any comparable part-time working professional MBA in our market place is at least double the cost of what we are charging,” says Dr. Jacob M. Chacko, associate dean of the School of Business and Professor of Marketing
