Free Master’s Degree Program

May 11, 2009

Spread the word about this free education with pay!

Wake Forest University has an opportunity for minority students to attend their MBA program for FREE and get PAID while you’re doing it. Our Dean of the Schools of Business is the former CEO of PepsiCo and very committed to diversity. He’s gone around to his CEO friends, who have agreed to donate a bunch of money to pay tuition and fees and to provide a stipend and a job to diverse students.

The problem is, response to the program – called the Corporate Fellowship – has been dismal! As a faculty member, I would be embarrassed for him to have to tell his CEO friends, “Thanks so much for your donation, but unfortunately I have to give it back because we couldn’t find any students who wanted it.”

So I need your help. Please contact me if you or ANYONE you know is interested in the program. I want to help out as many young scholars as I can.

Don’t worry about whether or not you (or they) have taken the GMAT etc. All you need to do at this point is JUST APPLY. In business, you have to act when the opportunity is presented, and that is now.

More information on the Corporate Fellowship

The Master of Art in Management program is designed specifically for liberal arts majors only. The MA degree program is a 10 month intense study of the basic functional areas of business. After graduation and working for approximately two years, all MA graduates are eligible to apply to Wake Forest as part of the MA/MBA joint degree program and get the MBA in one year. The new Dean, Steve Reinemund, has created a new scholarship for diverse students pursuing the MA degree called the Corporate Fellowship.

The Corporate Fellowship provides full tuition and a $21,000 stipend to cover living expenses. Additionally, each Corporate Fellow will participate in a practicum. The practicum has two components, educational and professional development. Each student will be assigned a mentor that is a high level executive with their sponsor corporation. The mentor will oversee an educational project covering four of the functional areas of business using their own corporation as the subject. The student will visit the corporation three to four times during the program to present his/her results of their research project.

Additionally, the “professional development” component of the fellowship provides career coaching and leadership development for the students. The goal for the corporation is to be able to groom and hopefully hire a top candidate from a diverse background for their organization. Of course, there is no obligation that the students accept any offer of employment. Still, the student benefits, even if they are not ultimately hired by their sponsor corporation in that they have the MA degree and the type of experience that will make them more

What amazes me most about the “free-tuition” Master’s Degree Program at Wake Forest University, advertised in the San Francisco Bayview periodical, is the inability or reluctance of the Program Coordinating Office to supply more information to those who request it.

Is this program for real, and if so, is it restricted to a particular student population? We need to know who qualifies. WILL SOMEONE AT WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY RESPOND?
Better yet, will you please send more information to those who have requested it? Thanks in advance.

First, let me say to everyone that the Bay View merely posted this announcement as a public service. It is not a paid ad, and we have no relationship with Wake Forest University. I have tried to inform each of the people who left comments that they need to use the contact information in the announcement to learn more.

Now, if Wake Forest is not responding to anyone, we need to know that so that we can remove this announcement and not mislead anyone. Please post any experience you have had with contacting Wake Forest.

Thank you all.
