Nebraska Wesleyan University is growing its graduate degree programs. Beginning this fall, NWU will offer a Master of Business Administration program and a Master of Science in Nursing/Master of Business Administration joint degree.
“We have studied the MBA for nearly a decade,” said Elizabeth MacLeod Walls, dean of University College, which houses the university’s adult and graduate programs. “We’ve waited until we were certain that we could develop a program that would reflect our mission, build on faculty strengths and meet students’ needs.”
Courtney Baillie, professor of accounting, has been named MBA Program Director. Baillie has taught at NWU for 15 years. Prior to teaching she worked in public accounting and served in the Peace Corps.
The new MBA program offers weekly evening classes in eight-week sessions in Lincoln and Omaha. Students will choose from five specialized tracks including: Classic (traditional MBA), Health Care Management, Leadership, Design Your Own, and Accounting.
MBA students in all tracks will use real case studies and work alongside mentors at local businesses and nonprofit organizations.
“This gives students valuable opportunities to put classroom theories into practice through case studies where students are partnering with local businesses to tackle real issues in the marketplace,” said Baillie. “It’ll be exciting to watch MBA students interacting with businesses and nonprofits to help solve strategic issues.”
Starting this fall, NWU will also offer an MSN/MBA joint degree program in Lincoln and Omaha. The joint program is the only one of its kind in Nebraska.
“Today’s nurses are shouldering more and more business responsibilities, and we feel it’s important and necessary to respond,” said MacLeod Walls. “The program will not only benefit our students, but also health care systems and patients throughout the state.”
Nurses who already have an MSN can earn an MBA through a new MSN to MBA Bridge program, a special 21 credit hour program.
Information and registration sessions have been scheduled for:

Tuesday, March 11
