10/17/2012 - SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- Maryville University of St. Louis will begin offering a master's of business administration degree at Scott Air Force Base's Education Center Oct. 22.
One of only three universities in St. Louis ranked in the national universities category by U.S. News and World Report in its 2013 Best Colleges guide, Maryville will offer its accredited MBA in the John E. Simon School of Business both online and in house.
"No matter where you go, you can finish your MBA with us," said Tyler Kostich, Scott Maryville site director. "We designed our program with convenient eight-week classes for both on-ground and online students. Our on-ground classes meet one evening each week at the Education Building on base. Our online students can choose how and when to allocate their time to meet established course deadlines and requirements."
Maryville processes admissions applications quickly, he added. Prospective students have plenty of time to apply and register before the week of Oct. 22 when classes begin. Students will also be able to enter the program in January.
"The MBA program is designed to meet the unique needs of the military community," said LaDonna Livingston, 375th Force Support Squadron chief education and training. "Courses are delivered in both distance learning and traditional classroom formats, allowing students to continue course progression regardless of work schedules, family commitments, and permanent or temporary duty assignment."
Special tuition rates are available for active duty personnel, guardsmen and reservists and their spouses and children. Members of the U.S. Department of Defense and Civil Service personnel also qualify for special rate. In addition, classes are open to the public.
"Having an advanced degree often paves the way for promotions and new opportunities in the armed forces, and an MBA can also help make the transition to civilian life smoother," Kostich said, adding Maryville carries the Military Friendly School designation for the fourth straight year.
To apply or learn more about the degree, coordinated through Maryville's School of Adult and Online Education, contact Tyler Kostich at 256-4018 or 1-888-264-0836.
