The Frank G. Zarb School of Business at Hofstra University announced the launch of an accelerated MBA program in Manhattan designed for the working professional that can be completed in less than three years.
The MBA in strategic business management is a 41-48 credit hybrid program combining online and on-site classes that will be located in the Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital on East 64th Street, between 2nd and 3rd avenues. The first cohort, which has 25 slots available, will begin September 2014.
To introduce the Manhattan program, the Zarb School is sponsoring a series of free lectures on self-branding for career growth featuring Dr. Joel Evans, the RMI Distinguished Professor of Business and a professor of marketing and international business, on April 22 in Manhattan and April 30 in Melville, Long Island. Both events run from 6-8 p.m. The events are free, but registration is required.
The Zarb business school, which opened in 1952, has seen its enrollment climb in recent years as the recession and layoffs in the financial sector drove people into MBA programs. The number of students in its graduate business degree programs went from 750 in 2010 to 1,200 in 2014.
Nearly half of the school’s students are international students, with the majority hailing from China and India.
