PricewaterhouseCoopers consultants will take part in a two-year MBA program through a combination of classroom instruction and out-of-classroom exercises and interaction. Consultants will use distance learning technologies such as discussion and collaboration software that will enable students in different locations to work on team projects. The program is being piloted over a three-year period and will involve two groups of students. The first group began the program on October 18, 1998. "The UGA program is specifically tailored to the time and education needs of PricewaterhouseCoopers consultants," said Sandra Kinsey, managing director and head of training and development for PricewaterhouseCoopers’s management consulting practice. "The program has been carefully designed to provide a business administration education with a consulting focus so that what is learned in this program can be directly applied to a consultant’s everyday client work." "We are excited about this opportunity to develop a unique MBA program for PricewaterhouseCoopers, one that leverages its consulting knowledge and our faculty expertise and MBA program experience," said P. George Benson, dean of UGA's Terry College of Business. "Through this program, PricewaterhouseCoopers consultants will be able to use Sanford Hall, the college's new learning center, as well as the extensive instructional technology now at our disposal. This program will influence the direction and mode of delivery of all future graduate business programs at Terry College." The Management Consulting Services practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers helps global and national clients maximize their business performance through seamless integration of strategic change, process improvements and technology solutions. Combining the talents and skills of 25,000 people worldwide, PricewaterhouseCoopers consultants manage complex projects with global capabilities and local expertise, from strategy through implementation.
