Worcester Business Journal www.wbjournal.com 2014 Economic Forecast 29 e d u c at i o n T he Isenberg MBA gives you the freedom to complete your degree on your own terms. It's about options - the flexibility to pursue your studies full-time at their flag- ship campus, completely online from anywhere in the world, or in a blended format at one of their satellite campus locations in Massachusetts. Online and blended options offer the same AACSB-accredited curriculum and accomplished faculty as full-time, tradi- tional classes - the difference lies in the free- dom and convenience provided by these alter- native venues. Rigorous regardless of its flexible format, the Isenberg MBA provides up-to-date knowledge and skills for today's complex busi- ness environments. Isenberg attracts motivated students from all 50 states and 19 foreign countries and continue to garner attention from the nation's biggest, most profitable, and most influential companies - over 47% of students in the program are employed by Fortune 100 companies. As one of the first major accredited business schools to pioneer offer- ing graduate education online, the Isenberg MBA is enterprising, with a strong emphasis on experi- ential, collaborative learning.
