MCLA’s Division of Graduate & Continuing Education (DGCE) will host two information
sessions for those interested in pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA)
or Master of Education (MEd). The information sessions will be available in person
and online in North Adams this July and August.
The community is invited to the July 18 information session at 5 p.m. on campus in
North Adams or remotely on August 7 at 5 p.m. The deadline for a graduate admission
application is August 1 for the Fall 2024 semester.
Prospective students can meet with faculty and staff to learn about graduate education
in MCLA’s unique and innovative programs designed to support the rising workforce
needs in the Berkshires and beyond.
The MBA program offers a broad-based, multidisciplinary education that combines the
strengths of MCLA business faculty with those of practicing managers actively involved
in day-to-day decision-making in the field. It is a part-time 30-credit program designed
for working professionals and in partnership with the Berkshire Innovation Center
(BIC).
The MEd program offers a thoughtful blend of classroom and fieldwork experiences that
prepare students to make a meaningful impact in their school communities. Programs
include MEd with Initial Licensure, MEd with Professional Teacher Licensure, MEd with
Individualized Plan of Study Non-Licensure, and Accelerated +1 Bachelor’s Degree with
MEd.
