The University launched an accelerated, online Master of Business Administration (MBA) program in October 2012 with an inaugural cohort of 10 students. The career-focused program can be completed in 18 months and offers four areas of study, including Data Analytics, Finance, Healthcare Management and Marketing.
“We’ve created a program that enables our students to apply what they learn directly to their careers and professions,” said Dr. Michael Williams, acting dean of the School of Business and Technology. “Our program is designed exclusively for working adults and the applied approach distinguishes our MBA from others in the marketplace, which are mostly theory-based.”
In 2011, the Foundation provided $100,000 to fund development of the MBA. Courses in the 39-credit program are eight-weeks long and students can enroll at three times during the year. Currently, 8 students are enrolled in the MBA program and 91 candidates have applied to the program, including eight who are enrolled in undergraduate courses required to satisfy the program’s prerequisites in financial accounting, economics and statistics.
Additionally, the School of Business and Technology has developed and launched the MBA Preparatory Program, which is designed for candidates with a nonbusiness background. This noncredit, online program enables students to complete up to three accelerated noncredit courses in 12 weeks to satisfy the program’s prerequisites. The preparatory program was deployed in April and included 12 students in its first cohort.
Students in the W. Cary Edwards School of Nursing’s Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) Program were closer to their academic goals thanks to the creation of a new simulation lab, which features three high-fidelity patient simulators, made possible by generous donations from corporate and individual supporters.
The nursing simulation lab is controlled clinical environment. The three high-fidelity human simulators in the lab can be programmed to replicate many healthcare emergencies and medical conditions; and respond physiologically and verbally to care administered by the students.
The Thomas Edison State University Foundation played a key role in supporting the simulation laboratory by raising more than $270,000 to help purchase the simulators. Supporters include Bristol-Myers Squibb; The Gary & Diane Heavin Community Fund; Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; The Karma Foundation; The James Kerney Foundation; New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company; Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation; The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.; The Provident Bank Foundation; The Roma Bank Community Foundation; The Fred C. Rummel Foundation; and numerous individuals.
In 2013, Thomas Edison State University was notified that its applications for capital projects in downtown Trenton were recommended for public funding. The University submitted four applications totaling $16.6 million in public funding requests, including:
