Master of Business Administration Students Can Now Tailor Their Degree to Match Individual Career Goals
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 30, 2010 — Florida Tech University Online (Florida Institute of Technology) has again expanded its offerings of nationally respected business degrees online. The new Master of Business Administration degree is significant because it allows students to build a personalized degree through a choice of specialization courses in a variety of in-demand disciplines.
All Florida Tech MBA degree programs utilize the case-method approach and heavily emphasize traditional core business principles before moving into one of seven industry specializations. What makes this new MBA noteworthy is a flexible curriculum allowing students to choose their specialization courses from a wide variety of disciplines including: Accounting, Finance, Information Technology Management, Healthcare Management, Internet Marketing, Management, Marketing and Project Management.
Dr. Robert Niebuhr, dean of Florida Tech's Nathan M. Bisk College of Business, said, "Florida Tech's MBA programs are one-of-a-kind in the online learning environment because they foster an intensely collaborative education, in addition to leading research, innovative best practices and risk-taking opportunities. The fact that students can now build a personalized MBA program makes the degree that much more valuable over the course of one's career."
Florida Tech and University Alliance – the company providing the multimedia, video-based e-learning system, enrollment support and marketing that make the degree programs possible – are expected to announce several additional new MBAs soon. Adrian Marrullier, Executive Vice President of University Alliance, said, "Today's business professionals need cutting-edge education to be able to successfully navigate real-life challenges.
