Building the B-school

New Mexico Business Journal, March, 2000

The Management Development Center

In addition to providing an accessible Executive MBA program on campus that enables nontraditional students to reach their educational goals, the Management Development Center has an aggressive outreach program to meet the changing needs of the business community. Nearly 400 students enrolled in the MDC's noncredit certification programs in basic accounting, management, human resources management, global management and nonprofit management in 1998-99. The MDC also provides specialized training and management diagnostic services to a variety of corporate clients internationally.

The Parish Library

The state's largest holdings of business and management resources, the library has become a trusted resource far beyond the campus community. Accessible to community members through a business library card, the library's web site makes, it possible for people to gather current data, research, articles, and information related to their business concerns.

The Anderson Schools Placement Center

While many schools provide placement support to their students, Anderson's program is more abundant. Of enrollees in the placement service, nearly 600 are alumni--New Mexico residents--seeking a new professional opportunity in the state. More than 300 employers from New Mexico also contact the office each year to post available jobs, get employment referrals, and arrange for on-campus interviewing support.

The Academic Programs of the Anderson Schools

Perhaps more than any other school at UNM, the academic curriculum is directly connected to community out reach efforts of the Schools. The business community of Albuquerque and the State of New Mexico provides the laboratory experience students need to develop their skills as future business leaders here. Each year more than 300 partnerships emerge between the business community and Anderson's student teams.
