Online MBA Program Offers SAP Software Training

Central Michigan University is revolutionizing its master of business in administration program by giving working professionals the opportunity to continue their careers while learning software that is used by 85 percent of all Fortune 1000 companies.
Newswise — CMU's College of Business Administration's new online MBA program is the only online MBA program offered that has a management information systems concentration with an emphasis in SAP. SAP enterprise resource planning software provides the capability to manage financial, asset, and cost accounting; production operations and materials; personnel; plants; and archived documents.
"We have been offering a wide array of SAP classes for the past eight years, but extending SAP into an MBA program is a natural and exciting evolution," said D. Michael Fields, dean of the College of Business Administration. "Our new online MBA program allows us to offer our expertise to a larger market of working professionals."
Comprised of management, business and finance classes, the CMU MBA program is designed to prepare graduate students to take leadership positions in the business world. The 18-month accelerated program is taught completely online, and with the exception of an intensive two-week SAP Academy, will be taught in a cohort format that includes a group of students following a set schedule of courses together from start to finish.
"This program will provide immediate added value to its graduates in two ways," said Fields. "Not only will they be adding a valuable skill set, but they can likely immediately apply this knowledge to their workplace and add value to their employer."
