Master's program at USD caters to military officers - Jordan Robertson, UNION-TRIBUNE
Imagine studying for a master's degree in a war zone. For many of the 23 University of San Diego students who graduated yesterday from an MBA-style distance learning program designed for active military members, their daily concerns went way beyond keeping a high grade point average. Most of the students are Navy and Marine Corps members. A quarter of them were deployed and redeployed all over the world during the 15-month program, which is offered by USD's School of Business Administration. The courses range from ethical leadership to international negotiations to financial management strategy. The trick to graduating, the students say, is finding the energy after 14-hour days of fighting the war on terror to read business textbooks, complete online assignments and arrange conference calls with classmates in different time zones.
