WebMBA ranked in top 10
May 1, 2004
CARROLLTON, GA - The Georgia WebMBA has been ranked among the ten best and most affordable online MBA programs in the country by GetEducated.com, a clearinghouse dedicated exclusively to showcasing accredited online degrees.
The University of West Georgia is one of five University System of Georgia institutions offering the WebMBA. Other universities in the consortium include Kennesaw State University, Georgia College & State University, Georgia Southern University and Valdosta State University. The business programs at these universities are all accredited by AACSB International.
The WebMBA, which allows working professional to earn a Master of Business Administration degree online, has received GetEducated.com’s “Best Buy MBA” designation for delivering a high quality distance learning degree to a national audience.
An independent editorial team bestowed the “Best Buy” honor based on a review of 120 programs that are accredited by, or are candidates for accreditation by AACSB International (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business).
“This reconfirms our belief that the Georgia WebMBA is both an excellent educational opportunity and an exceptional value,” said WebMBA Director Joe Bocchi. “Even after tuition rises to $15,500 this fall, it will still be well below the national average of $26,300.”
The deadline for applications for the Fall 2004 cohort is June 7, 2004. For more information, visit www.webmbaonline.org or contact John Wells, assistant dean of the UWG Richards College of Business, at 770/836-6467 or jwells@westga.edu.
