UK MBA Program Still Accepting Applications

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 29, 2016) The University of Kentucky's Gatton College of Business and Economics is still accepting applications for the One Year Accelerated MBA and Professional Evening MBA programs.

The One Year Accelerated MBA is an 11-month program that runs from June to May each year. Both business and non-business majors can apply. Students can also take advantage of a yearlong internship program called Project Connect, which provides valuable real-world experience. This program’s coursework is enhanced by a number of workshops, certificate programs, team competitions, outside speakers and panel discussions.

The Professional Evening MBA can be completed in two or three years with convenient evening-only classes, allowing students to work fulltime during the day. This program begins in August or January of each year, and provides a deeper knowledge of advanced business processes which helps students increase their value to their present company or organization.

Harvie Wilkinson, director of the Gatton MBA programs, said, "If you want to make yourself more marketable in today's competitive job market, or if you want to expand your skill set so that you can be successful in your career, then acquiring an MBA may be an attractive option for you."

The application deadlines for the One Year Accelerated MBA program is May 11 and the Professional Evening MBA is July 1. For interested candidates, we encourage you to visit the UK’s MBA programs at http://gatton.uky.edu/mba for more information on the programs and how to apply.
