Valdosta State University to Partner with a German universitythrough the ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA Program

The University System of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ and Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Bernburg, Germany have joined to use a web-based platform for online instruction. Valdosta State University will participate in this global alliance as one of the five members of the ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA consortium. Under the agreement, Anhalt and ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA faculty will work together to develop common projects and teach comparable courses providing Anhalt students with U.S. business skills and global market skills to ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA students.

The agreement was signed by Daniel S. Papp, Senior Vice Chancellor for Academics & Fiscal Affairs for the University System of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ, and Dr. Dieter Orzessek, president of Anhalt University. ?The ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA program has been a cutting edge MBA program ever since it was put into place several years ago by five universities in the University System of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ,? said Papp. ? The ground work was laid for the agreement during the summer of 2004 when graduate students from Anhalt University and the ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA worked virtually in teams and engaged in an exchange program as part of a global business course.

The ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA program is a cooperative venture of five institutions within the University System of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ: Valdosta State University, ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ Southern University, ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ College & State University, Kennesaw State University, and the University of West ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ. U.S. News and World Report recognizes the ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA as one of the world's best online MBA programs. The ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA program is internationally accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). In its fifth cohort cycle, the ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ WebMBA program attracts students from all over the United States.
