Nebraska Wesleyan University is growing its graduate degree programs offered in Omaha and Lincoln. Beginning this fall, NWU will offer a Master of Business Administration program and a Master of Science in Nursing/Master of Business Administration joint degree. Courtney Baillie, professor of accounting, has been named MBA Program Director. Baillie has taught at NWU for 15 years. Prior to teaching she worked in public accounting and served in the Peace Corps.
The new MBA program offers weekly evening classes in eight-week sessions. Students will choose from five specialized tracks including: Classic (traditional MBA), Health Care Management, Leadership, Design Your Own, and Accounting. MBA students in all tracks will use real case studies and work alongside mentors at local businesses and nonprofit organizations.
Starting this fall, NWU will also offer an MSN/MBA joint degree program. The joint program is the only one of its kind in Nebraska. Nurses who already have an MSN can earn an MBA through a new MSN to MBA Bridge program, a special 21 credit hour program.
The final information and registration sessions will be held on Thursday, June 12 and Tuesday, July 8 from 5-7 pm at the First National Bank Complex located at 14010 FNB Parkway (near 140th & Dodge).
