"We are

assessing possibilities for offering our MBA

program at a convenient location for residents in

this growing part of the Atlanta area," said

Dr. Sidney E. Harris, dean of the Robinson

College of Business. "We are pleased with

the initial response from civic and education

leaders in the south metro area."

According to U.S.

News & World Report, Georgia State's

part-time MBA program has been recognized as one

of the nation's ten best programs for five

consecutive years. In addition, Business

Week listed the college's executive MBA program

as one of the top 20 programs in the country.

Forbes magazine has named the college one of the

best business schools for return on investment.

"This

initiative, involving two sister institutions of

the University System of Georgia, could pay many

dividends for south metro Atlanta," said

CCSU interim President Michael F. Vollmer.

"Not only will

it serve students and professionals in the entire

region, but it will stand as another part of

Clayton State's efforts to fulfill the needs of

its community, especially in regards to providing

services and educational opportunities to

existing and future companies," he said.

Despite recent

growth in the south metro area, few post-graduate

programs exist here.
