The Wisconsin School of Business is considering shutting down its full-time Master of Business Administration program, officials say, in a move that would make UW-Madison the latest university to stop offering a traditional MBA.

Professor Donald Hausch, the business school’s associate dean for MBA programs, told students in an email Wednesday that faculty are reviewing a proposal that would discontinue the program, which enrolls about 100 students per year.

Current students would not be affected by the change, nor would the school’s executive and evening MBA programs, business Dean Anne P. Massey said Friday.

Closing the two-year, full-time MBA is part of a broader overhaul of the business school’s offerings, which includes growing undergraduate programs and adding some “new and very innovative specialized master’s programs,” Massey said.

“What we’re trying to do … is to strengthen our impact for our students and the greater community,” she said. “We have to do that by being relevant to the changes in the market.”
