The Business Division of Florida National College is proud to announce the opening of its Executive MBA (Masters of Business Administration) program with classes starting on April 30, 2012. This program is the first in a series of new programs that will be introduced as a result of FNC receiving SACS-COC (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools – Commission on Colleges) accreditation as a Level III (University level)institution of higher learning. As noted in our President’s earlier announcement, we will be changing to Florida National University in the near future.

 

The FNC MBA program is a 36 credit hour program with concentrations in General Management, Finance or Marketing. The program is designed to provide professionals in Business, Health Services, Law, Medicine, etc., with the skills and knowledge essential to career advancement or the management of professional services organizations. We will be starting this program with a special “Welcome Back” incentive for FNC Alumni.

 

The Florida National Executive MBA incorporates many innovative features that make it one of the most innovative and advanced programs offered in the area. The program includes:

• Every course includes both an academic and practical component based on extensive use of Harvard Case Studies to supplement academic learning with exposure to real-world situations.

• In response to the expressed needs of employers, each course includes practice and exercises on building communications, presentation and interpersonal skills. Distance learning students will participate in this course component through the use of video conferencing with their professors and fellow students.

• Students will participate in the management of a virtual company as members of a cross functional management team through the use of the Capsim™ simulation program. These simulations work with a Balanced Scorecard type evaluation of the company’s operating and financial outcomes as a result of the student’s decision making areas concerning product development, marketing, production, finance, TQM and HR.

• Additionally, students will participate in the COMP-XM ™ virtual management program to personally manage a company. This program will provide: a) an evaluation of the knowledge gained in the MBA program; and b) a basis for future career development. This methodology has been designated as a “Best Practice” by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). FNC plans to seek AACSB accreditation in 2012.

• Through the use of a proprietary measurement and management system, Students (and Faculty) will be able to track their progress on each course’s syllabus learning objectives to provide immediate identification of teaching and learning opportunities.

 

There are many reasons why one should choose Florida National. Here are a few.

1. SACS-COC accreditation

2. Small class sizes

3. Personalized attention

4. Courses taught by professionals with experience in their field

5. High student satisfaction (over 76% of students would recommend FNC to friends and family, 2010 survey)

6. Tuition assistance for qualified applicants

7. Accelerated program (earn your degree in 12 months)

8. Open to international students

9. Flexible classes: On Campus, Distance Learning and Hybrid Classes

10. High retention and graduation rates

 

We are especially looking forward to welcoming back FNC graduates and students about to graduate. Alumni enrolling for the April “MBA Founders” classes will receive tuition rates at the Bachelors level ($525.00 versus $650.00 per credit hour) for a $4,500 savings over the MBA program.
