MBA America Tour

The Walton GSB has been presented with a wonderful opportunity. A newly formed group, made up of public MBA programs, will be hosting a new tour next spring. Founding members are University of Texas at Dallas, University of Houston, University of Illinois—Chicago, University of Oklahoma, University of Arkansas, The Ohio State University, University of Missouri, and Michigan State University. The official name is the MBA America Tour. Our spring schedule is:

January 26 - Atlanta
January 27 - Dallas
January 28 - Houston
February 9 - Chicago
February 10 - Kansas City
February 11 - Denver
March 2 - Cincinnati
March 3 - Saint Louis
March 4 - Detroit

The Walton MBA will be at events in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, and Saint Louis. Events are scheduled to be 6:00-8:00. A website is in development but is not live yet. Prospective students in each area will be invited prior to the event.

The focus of this Tour is to stress the value of public education, especially in this current economic climate. New schools will be added each year and as we grow, we will also add new locations. As soon as the website is live, I will provide the address.

I am excited about bringing the Walton MBA to new areas. This is a wonderful opportunity for students looking for an MBA to go to one location and visit with several outstanding schools. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

If you are in or near one of the locations mentioned above, put the MBA America Tour on your calendar.
