I'm currently taking some Certificate courses at Cornell University, (eCornell), which I find to be excellent short-term courses by the way, when I stumbled across their announcement that they will be offering a "distance eMBA" program soon. Cornell is a decent school and this MBA might be of interest to someone starting out! I'm completing my MBA soon so it isn't for me but the Certificate programs currently offered at Cornell are very well done indeed and add to the balance of work done earning my MBA. Next I will be looking forward to a PhD/DBA program. FYI MP8
Wow! A distance MBA from an Ivey League college. That is very exciting news. However I am scared to even ask what the price of it will be. Could you please post a link to it?
Here is the link to the e-school and I've included Mr. Hostetler's opening notes. You're right, some Ivy League education couldn't hurt unless you are currently on the Apprentice! LOL I'll ask about the program in the next while, http://www.ecornell.com/ Michael J. Hostetler is the director of leadership studies at Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management. He is responsible for all custom executive education programs at the Johnson School, for both domestic and international clients. Mr. Hostetler has designed programs for a variety of organizations including Siemens, Salomon Smith Barney, Sara Lee, Johnson & Johnson, Bausch & Lomb, the Credit Union Executive Society, United News & Media plc, Exxon Mobil, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKlein, Hyundai, NRG Energy, and the Asian Development Bank. Mr. Hostetler also oversaw the development and launch of the Johnson School’s EMBA program and currently leads the development of a new distance learning EMBA program. Mr. Hostetler's main interests in research and teaching are strategy, decision making, leadership, high-performance teams, and change management. Prior to joining Cornell University, he was assistant dean for executive education at the Fuqua School of Business, Duke University. Mr. Hostetler's prior experience also includes positions with St. Mary's Medical Center, the University of Tennessee, and the governor of Kentucky. Mr. Hostetler holds a B.A. from Augustana College and an M.P.H. from the University of Tennessee. Mr. Hostetler is active in the development of global executive education through the University Consortium for Executive Education (emeritus trustee) and the International Consortium for Executive Development Research (ICEDR).
distance eMBA Not truly DL: http://www.cornellbusiness.com/news/2004/12/06/JohnsonNews/The-Changing.Marketing.Landscape-829871.shtml http://www.johnson.cornell.edu/lrp/page8.html
Re: distance eMBA Actually, it sounds like the distance eMBA in development is different than the current eMBA.
Re: distance eMBA "Mr. Hostetler also oversaw the development and launch of the Johnson School’s EMBA program and currently leads the development of a new distance learning EMBA program."
I'm under the belief that this is a new program launch as Mr. H. just posted this undate to the classroom yesterday. I'll let you know what the scope is shortly!
Read the links again They are not talking about the current eMBA. The one with Queens does not start until June 2005. I seriously doubt Cornell will start a distance eMBA in the mode of true DL.
