BC: New MBA Programme With Framingham
Bermuda College announced it will be offering a new online MBA programme this Fall, through a new partnership with Framingham State University [FSU].
Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs, Dr. Phyllis Curtis-Tweed called the collaboration a “great opportunity for local business professionals to get a graduate degree without having to leave the Island or their jobs.”
The FSU programme is accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education [IACBE], one of the top three accrediting agencies for MBA programmes.
“FSU is no stranger to our shores. We enjoy a wonderful partnership with them in providing a transfer pathway to several undergraduate degrees. FSU also offers the Graduate Certificate in Education Leadership which many of our teachers have successfully taken advantage of, and speak very highly of. And there are several features about this new MBA that make it particularly appealing,” she said.
“Students will find they can use their skills almost immediately on their job as they look to advance their careers, or gain another degree; it’s an international programme, so they’ll benefit from being in an environment where they can learn from one another, not just from the professors; it’s 100-percent online; it’s regionally accredited; and it’s affordable.”
Assistant Dean of Admissions and Director of Admissions Operations and International Recruitment John Chenier said the University’s location is another value-ad. Massachusetts is America’s “number 1 state for education”, he noted.
“Students from Bermuda will definitely be able to leverage the support they’ll receive from a network of coordinators and faculty both at Bermuda College and at FSU that will help them develop their professional skills and advance their careers. The emergence of a need for an MBA programme like ours is a wonderful opportunity that provides both high value and low cost.”
Bermuda College will be sponsoring a virtual information session on Tuesday, May 10 at 6 p.m. For registration details, visit here or join the Information Session here.
