Sponsorship Opportunities and Benefits
Corporate Sponsorship is used strategically in organizations as a development tool, to reward a high-potential employee, as a form of compensation, for succession planning, etc. A
variety of reimbursement options are available to facilitate sponsorship. Sponsorship in the form of financial support (tuition reimbursement) is valued at any level.
"Time" sponsorship by employers is required due to the time commitment involved.
Selecting Candidates
Good candidates for the Executive MBA program are individuals who are self-motivated and have the temperament to handle the demands of work, school and home and the willingness to
make a two-year commitment.
Applicants need a minimum of five years relevant work experience and a four-year undergraduate degree. Previous academic training in business is not required for admission. We
encourage potential candidates to talk with alumni and current students. We also strongly encourage students to visit a class, to get a "feel" for the environment and
structure.
Employed applicants to the Wichita State University Executive MBA program must submit an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY FORM D as part of the application process. This form
ensures that the employer understands the financial and time commitment required for the program and outlines the following:
SOURCE OF SUPPORT
An indication of the source of financial support, if any, expected from the employer.
ORGANIZATIONAL SPONSORSHIP
An acknowledgement of the employee's intent to apply and an assurance from the company to support full participation in all aspects of the program.
