The College of Business’ new MBA Without Boundaries program continues to make news nationally. Industry Week and Business Week magazines both recently highlighted the Internet-based venture in stories on linking business executives with online business school programs.
Industry Week said Ohio University was one of the few schools in the world offering business executives an online MBA. Similar long-distance education programs at Duke and Purdue universities also were featured in the article.
In Ohio University’s program, launched in March, students work in teams to solve problems, using the World Wide Web-based program Domino. Students also visit the Athens campus six weekends and three full weeks during the two- year program to make presentations to professors, work in teams and attend seminars, said Professor John Stinson, who led the faculty committee that created the MBA program.
