UC Relaunches Part-Time MBA Program in Blue Ash

Over the past decade, the Blue Ash MBA program served more than 200 outstanding working professionals from such leading firms as Procter & Gamble, Ohio National Financial Services, GE, Ethicon Endo-Surgery and other top companies.

"It's a time-tested program," says Chris Allen, associate dean for Graduate Programs in UC's College of Business. "We established it more than ten years ago and have found that it's a proven model that works."

He adds that with the uniformly high caliber students from firms and organizations in the city's North Corridor, mixed with the best faculty from UC's College of Business, one ends up with a perfect dynamic in the classroom.

"Ohio National has successfully partnered with UC's MBA program for many years, and we are excited to assist in the relaunch of the graduate degree program in Blue Ash," says Tony Esposito, Ohio National’s senior vice president of Human Resources & Administration. "Given the contemporary curriculum and top-quality faculty, the program delivers great value and experience for our associates, ultimately enhancing Ohio National's success."

"It's a premium program right in your back yard," says Allen. "And although it's offered at an accelerated pace for the working professional, we’re not compromising quality."

UC's Blue Ash MBA program is designed for two-year completion by taking classes two nights per week. The program features study abroad opportunities, case competitions, esprit de corps in its cohorts, and "apply-it-today" tools and content.

Taught by award-winning faculty who are at the top of their fields, the Blue Ash MBA program offers working professionals access to a top MBA program located near their work and homes. The program parallels UC’s Uptown evening MBA, creating added flexibility to take classes in Blue Ash or on the Uptown campus.

Classes for the UC MBA in Blue Ash will begin March 30, 2010. The Business College hosted several information sessions for prospective applicants, with the first one at Ohio National Financial Services at 6 p.m on Dec. 2, 2009. Additional information sessions were held both at Carver Woods and at employers' locations following in January and February 2010.
