California State University, Stanislaus will honor the third graduating cohort of the Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) degree program this Saturday, December 12 at a 5:30 p.m. reception in the Event Center of the University Student Union Building.
The 21 graduates who come from all over Central California and as far away as Watsonville and Aptos on the Pacific Coast are part of the Turlock cohort that started the program in August. Some of them have been focused on research projects such as providing valuable information in helping to reintroduce the Farmer’s Market to downtown Turlock in spring 2010. Students Allison Van Guilder, Sarah Eddy, and Steve Williams teamed up on the project that covered the financial, logistical, and marketing aspects of the program and presented information to the Turlock Farmers Market Committee that will be utilized in moving forward with an upcoming proposal to bring the event back to downtown Turlock in the coming year.
“Our Executive MBA program is drawing high praise because of the genuine experience students gain in applying information to become problem-solvers in both the public and private sector,” CSU Stanislaus President Hamid Shirvani said.
The University’s Executive Master of Business Administration Degree program is proving to be immensely popular, having launched its fifth cohort in Tracy in September. The program made its debut in 2007 in Tracy and produced its first group of graduates in December 2008. Cohorts in Stockton and Turlock have since completed the program and another session is in progress in Modesto.
The 15-month, 36-unit program focuses on producing well-trained management professionals who are highly sought after by regional industries and organizations. More than 125 students have participated in the program thus far. Conducted by the College of Business Administration and administered through the University’s Office of Extended Education, the program has seen its popularity spread far and wide.
