Stamford, CT. September 18, 2006 – Ellis College of NYIT has streamlined its online MBA program to enable students to specialize in a particular field of study without having to take additional classes. Under the new guidelines, students will be able to earn an MBA with Specialization with 36 credits, or an MBA with a Double Specialization with 45 credits.
With an MBA with Specialization or Double Specialization, students complete the core MBA curriculum and then apply their elective credits to courses dedicated to a particular profession. The school currently offers 14 different specializations in fields that include Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Health Care Administration and Human Resources Management.
The Ellis College online MBA program offers courses developed in partnership with some of the world’s leading business schools, including Columbia University, Stanford University and the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Courses in each program are six-weeks long, with new terms beginning every three weeks, making it easy for professionals to balance the time needed to pursue a degree with the needs of everyday life.
“By streamlining our MBA program, we are making it easier for students to customize their graduate business studies towards the fields that interest them most,” said Ted Alex, Dean of Business and Information Technology at Ellis College. “It gives our graduates a distinct advantage by enabling them to walk into a potential employer’s office and showcase some essential, field-specific skills that a general MBA student may be lacking.”
Ellis College, the online division of the New York Institute of Technology, is a regionally accredited online university that offers over 50 different graduate and undergraduate degrees, certificates and specializations. Utilizing “real-world” scenarios, Ellis provides instruction that enables working professionals to “learn-by-doing,” enabling them to apply the strategies and skills that they acquire almost immediately. Ellis utilizes a unique, interactive learning platform that provides an animated, lively classroom experience and fosters an extensive online community among students, alumni and faculty.
