Press Release Summary: Open enrollment program designed for business owners and
managers who have not had the opportunity to receive a formal business education.


Press Release Body: Las Vegas, NV, March 27, 2008--The UNLV College of Business is
offering a new program for business managers and professionals in the community
looking to make the move to upper-management or possibly increase their wages
through additional education. The Business Essentials: Executive Certificate in
Business Administration program is designed to introduce practicing managers,
business owners, and professionals to increasingly pertinent concepts, tools and
techniques taught by today's business schools.

This program is ideal for experienced or high potential managers and professionals
who may not have received any formal education, but who wish to move up the salary
bracket by seeking a stronger foundation in current business theory and practice.
Because this is an open enrollment program, a high school diploma or college degree
is not required.

"Nevada has lower graduation rates than many parts of the country," said Steve
Phelan, director for the UNLV Center for Entrepreneurship. "This has traditionally
meant that many business owners and managers have had a hard time accessing high
quality business education from places like UNLV. We are now committed to unlocking
the knowledge in the ivory towers and making it available to everyone with a desire
to learn more."

The program will be taught by leading professors from the UNLV College of Business,
with years of experience making business concepts and skills readily understandable
and immediately useful. Topics range from leadership and negotiation styles to
business law and corporate finance. Sessions are organized into four, two-day
modules focused on managing people, managing processes, the business environment,
and managing money. A new module is offered every month, so students can complete
the program in as little as four months or spread classes over two years.
