MCLA will host a virtual information session on Thursday, March 14, and an in-person session on Wednesday, March 27 for its Graduate Programs: Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Education (MEd) as well as the Leadership Academy.
Potential students will have the opportunity to meet with faculty and staff to learn more about how to continue education in three of MCLA’s unique and innovative programs that are designed to support the rising workforce needs here 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.
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, Professional Teacher Licensure with MEd, MEd with Individualized Plan of Study Non-Licensure, and Accelerated 4+1 Bachelor’s Degree with MEd.
MCLA Leadership Academy prepares candidates to serve as highly effective leaders of educational institutions and active citizens in their communities. The Academy readies school and district leaders with licensure who will ensure the highest quality and most equitable, just, and effective learning environments for students.
