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. For additional information about
