Show 4U' to Start Study in England The U.S. Air Force has announced that the University will establish the first graduate program pro-gram in business administration ever offered to the Armed Forces in Europe. A ONE-YEAR program contract was signed this week after negotiating with the Air Force since September. Last January the chairman of the University's MBA program, Dr. Eldon J. Facer, and Business College Dean Clyde N. Randall were invited to England to meet with Air Force education officers in the Cambridge area where the program is to be held. After considering the programs of several other American universities also represented at that time, the Air Force accepted the Utah College Col-lege of Business proposals which were the most agreeable to all parties concerned; it will give a Masters of Business Administration degree which will meet the requirements of the American Ameri-can Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. THE GRADUATE school will be established at Mildenhall and Alconbury Air Force bases in central England which will be run on a residence resi-dence basis as if the classes were take in Salt Lake. The final approval of the students admitted, ad-mitted, will be upon the standards applied to the Utah campus. Even the faculty will be the same at the English school as the current faculty here at home. Dean Randall announced that beginning next fall, faculty members will be rotated to England on an eight week schedule. The rotation should not interfere with the regular on-campus teaching schedule for those who might be anticipating an-ticipating program changes. The two-year MBA program will consist of five eight-week quarters a year with the resident faculty taking the load in England on their off quarter schedules. The initiation of the program will begin next month, when Dr. Facer will visit England to arrange ar-range admission proceedings. |
