Starting next fall, the Terry College of Business will offer its Evening MBA degree at two locations in Atlanta. The Evening MBA has been offered as a part-time program in Gwinnett County, near Lawrenceville, since 2000. And now the program will establish a second location at the college's Executive Education Center in Buckhead, with classes starting in August. Students interested in enrolling for fall may start the admissions process immediately.
Program Director Don Perry said the target enrollment at the Buckhead location will be as many as 50 students, and he expects a strong demand for seats in the inaugural class. The program in Gwinnett has grown steadily, with almost 250 students currently enrolled. "Establishing a second location in Buckhead will allow us to meet the needs of more of Atlanta's working professionals because of its closer proximity to where they live or work in Atlanta."

After earning admission to Terry's full-time MBA program, Sham Gad made it his personal goal to win an audience with legendary investor Warren Buffett for himself and his classmates. Gad found a fellow trip leader in Evening MBA student Jeff Cole, M.D., and the duo recruited more than 50 students -- evenly split between the two MBA programs -- to make the trip with them to meet the world's second richest man.
The payoff came Jan. 19-20 as they made a fast trek from Georgia to Nebraska and back for the chance to quiz Buffett about his investment philosophies and tour the Berkshire Hathaway headquarters in Omaha. Learn more »
