Babson College's First Portland, Oregon Fast Track MBAs To Graduate

Newswise - Babson College - the #1 ranked business school for Entrepreneurship - will graduate its first class of Portland, Oregon Fast Track MBAs on Friday, Sept. 5, 2008.

Acclaimed business executive and academic Leonard Schlesinger, who recently became Babson's 12th president, will address 38 Fast Track MBA candidates from Babson's F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at the ceremonies.

Babson's Fast Track MBA uniquely combines Web-based study with face-to-face sessions where students learn from world-class faculty, business leaders, and perhaps most importantly, each other. It allows experienced business professionals to continue their careers while earning their MBA in just 24 months.

Portland's Fast Track MBAs are mid-to-senior-level managers from some of the region's most important companies--Intel, ESCO, Nike, Forest Pharmaceuticals, Tektronix, and Cascade Microtech, among others--who want to be more versatile, mobile, and flexible within their organization and industry.

Students gather on campus for two days, approximately every six weeks for an interactive classroom experience. The Fast Track program begins with a five-day Residency Kickoff designed to introduce students to the program and each other.

Graduation ceremonies will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. at the World Trade Center in Portland, Oregon.
