The Executive MBA program will hold an open house for prospective students and interested companies on Jan. 27.

The informational session will run from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in The Loft on the fifth floor of the Stueckle Sky Center on the west side of Bronco Stadium. Those planning to attend should e-mail emba@boisestate.edu or call 426-4034 to reserve a space.

Classes will begin in September and participants will earn an MBA degree in two academic years of part-time class attendance. The program is designed specifically for middle- to senior-level professionals who wish to obtain a master’s in business administration on a schedule that minimizes disruption of work and personal pursuits.

Boise State’s Executive MBA program began in September 2006 and was Idaho’s first program of its kind. It is unique in that it was created in partnership with a consortium of regional businesses. In their capstone projects, students work to solve real business issues for local companies and organizations. The Idaho Youth Ranch implemented new plans as a result of the capstone project team that worked with them and greatly increased its bottom line.

More than half of Boise State’s Executive MBA graduates report that they have received promotions or otherwise advanced their careers as a direct result of their participation in the program.
