Saturday Graduates


Three years of attending Saturday classes paid off for 34 
students in August when they received their MBAs. 

"We are very proud of the first graduating class of Saturday 
MBAs. They are our program's pioneers," said Ron Ackerman, 
director of graduate programs at the College of Business.

The Saturday MBA program, begun in 1992, is intended to fit 
the schedule of employed students who cannot attend classes 
during the work week. 

"It is impressive that nearly 80 percent of the original 
class is graduating within the three-year schedule. This 
demonstrates the remarkable determination of our Saturday MBA 
students," Ackerman said.

Approximately 125 students currently are enrolled in the 
Saturday MBA program, he added.
