\n\t\tTuition reduction starts fall 2008<\/b><\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 February 12, 2008 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Business Administration will offer residents of nearby Massachusetts a tuition reduction starting in fall 2008 for its part-time master\u2019s degree in business administration.<\/p>\n


\n\tBusiness Dean Mark Higgins said Massachusetts residents in the part-time MBA program who live within 25 miles of the state will pay the in-state tuition rate, plus 25 percent.<\/p>\n


\n\tTuition rates have not been set yet for the fall semester, but under current rates, tuition for a three-credit course for nearby Massachusetts residents would be $1,443 through the new program. That same course offered at the current out-of-state rate would be $3,174 without the adjustment. The change will make 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s tuition for out-of-state residents more competitive with other area colleges offering the MBA. For Rhode Island residents, 溏心vlog免费B站 offers the least expensive MBA programs offered at any Ocean State college accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe looked at the data and we were attracting very small numbers from Massachusetts even though we believe many Bay State residents work in Providence,\u201d Higgins said. \u201cWe took this step to attract those individuals who could simply walk to our Providence campus and then make the short drive home to Attleboro, Seekonk or other nearby towns.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThe more affordable tuition rates will make the decision easier for Massachusetts residents to enroll in Rhode Island’s oldest MBA program accredited nationally by the AACSB,\u201d said Lisa Lancellotta, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s MBA coordinator. <\/p>\n


\n\tHiggins said one of the features of the 溏心vlog免费B站 part-time MBA program is flexibility. \u201cWe offer Saturday classes and online courses,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd if a family emergency arises, a student doesn\u2019t jeopardize her progress by taking a semester or two off.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tHiggins added that some schools require students to move through their programs from start to finish as a single cohort. Higgins said 溏心vlog免费B站 does not approach its part-time MBA that way.<\/p>\n


\n\tAt any one time, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s part-time MBA program enrolls about 170 students. Last fall, 50 new students joined the program and 31 joined it this spring semester. The program averages about five Massachusetts residents.\tResidents from the following Massachusetts communities are eligible: Attleboro, Bellingham, Blackstone, Dighton, Douglas, Fall River, Millville, Norfolk, North Attleboro, Norton, Plainville, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Somerset, Swansea, Uxbridge, Westport and Wrentham.<\/p>\n
