Beginning in January 2009 the CSS MBA will also be offered at St. Scholastica's St. Cloud campus, 4150 2nd St S., Suite 330.

St. Scholastica will continue to offer its popular Master of Arts in Management degree in Duluth and in St. Paul, and will begin offering the Master of Arts in Management in St. Cloud in January.

"We worked with business leaders and student focus groups to design our new MBA program," said Bob Sherman, dean of St. Scholastica's School of Business and Technology. "Its distinguishing characteristics are personal mentoring from coaches, a global perspective throughout the curriculum, and an emphasis on ethics and social responsibility."

The CSS MBA features:

• Up-front assessment of each student's leadership style, professional goals, and communication skills to match the student with a coach who is best able to develop the student's potential.
• A capstone experience that offers the student an opportunity to help an international business work toward solution of a real-world problem.
• Cultivation of the student's ethics and sense of social responsibility, which is an outgrowth of The College of St. Scholastica's Catholic Benedictine heritage.

The St. Scholastica School of Business and Technology's mission is to develop leaders who demonstrate the highest levels of professional excellence, global awareness, ethical decision-making and social responsibility.

U.S. News & World Report magazine calls The College of St. Scholastica a "Top Tier" Midwestern university, and USA Today newspaper has called it a "hidden gem."
