Laboratory employees this fall can sign up for an on-site Master’s of Business Administration program offered by New Mexico State University.
Laboratory personnel in the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Division have been working with NMSU officials for several months to bring the MBA program here. The Associate Laboratory Director for Administration (ADA) has made the program open to all Laboratory employees, and the first session, scheduled to begin in August, is open to at least 25 people. Lab organizations can cover the cost of tuition and books for individuals accepted into the NMSU program. Lab employees also can continue to enroll in other MBA programs.
Wayne Headrick, director of NMSU’s MBA program, is scheduled to visit Los Alamos on May 19 to provide information about the program and to answer questions at a roundtable forum from 3 to 5 p.m., in the Jemez Room of the J. Robert Oppenheimer Study Center at Technical Area 3.
Headrick will conduct one-on-one interviews with prospective enrollees by appointment any time between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., on May 20 in room 160 of the Canyon Complex. Prospective students should bring their résumés and unofficial college transcripts to the one-on-one sessions, which can be scheduled by contacting Leo Jaramillo of CFO at 7-3848.
The MBA degree program is a professional, accredited course of study designed to provide Laboratory employees with a solid background in business practices and the problem-solving and people skills needed to become successful leaders in a global business environment, said Carolyn Romero of CFO-DO, which is sponsoring the program. The program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
Once instruction begins, classes will be held locally every other weekend on Friday and Saturday. For more information about the program or Headrick’s visit, contact Jaramillo at 7-3848.
