(openPR) - Salt Lake City, Utah, April 20, 2011 - After more than 30 years of delivering distance learning courses, Independence University has made a foray into on-ground classes. The university is now offering its Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at its campus in Salt Lake City, Utah. The move is aimed at attracting students who prefer the traditional classroom setting to complete their degree.

Independence University’s MBA program is specifically designed to prepare working professionals from a variety of backgrounds for leadership roles. As part of their academic degree, students will learn advanced concepts from each of the pillars of business: accounting, finance, economics, information systems, and marketing. And since business leaders at any organization are required to demonstrate skills like communication and decision-making, the MBA program at Independence University is also focused on developing such proficiencies in graduates.

Classes for Independence University’s on-ground MBA program will be held every evening in the Executive Training Room at 5295 South Commerce Drive, Ste. G50, in Salt Lake City. Since classes are held in the evening, students can continue to pursue their jobs even as they work towards their degree, which offers students the benefits of a flexible schedule as well as classroom-based instruction.

Students of Independence University’s on-ground MBA program enjoy a facility that includes a lounge, an area dedicated to research, a computer lab, and a reference library designed to aid them in their coursework.

The eligibility criteria for enrollment in this program include a bachelor’s degree in any field from an accredited institution and at least one year of full-time work experience. Personnel at Independence University are available to assist students every step of the way—from enrollment consulting to financial planning.
