Program Overview Thanks to a generous endowment by Gordon and Marilyn Macklin, Montgomery College is able to offer our outstanding business students a very special program. The Gordon and Marilyn Macklin Business Institute (MBI) at Montgomery College is a distinctive honors program that provides a wide range of innovative, high-quality business education opportunities. MBI was founded in 1999 as a sophomore-level honors business program and has since achieved great success. MBI's students have successfully transferred to top business schools and secured valuable scholarship assistance. After much planning, MBI is expanding to a two-year honors program which will enhance the experiential learning opportunities and business education possibilities for its students. Graduates of the Macklin Business Institute Scholars Program will receive an A.A. degree and are encouraged to set their sights on a premier four-year college or university for transfer and completion of their baccalaureate degree. Whether your choice is the Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland or any other targeted institution, you will receive assistance in the transfer process which will increase your chances for success in being accepted to the school of your choice. U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens may be offered a scholarship that covers up to the full-time, in-county rate, cost of tuition and fees (to a maximum of 30 credit hours per academic year.).
Sophomore-Level Honors Business Program This program is for Montgomery College students who have completed their first year of work in Montgomery College's business transfer curricula. Students will have the opportunity to enter a sophomore-level program which includes honors work in economics, accounting, and statistics. The student will be offered a real-world view of business in action through various competitions and managing a real-world business. In addition, students will have the opportunity to meet and develop mentoring relationships with local, national, and international business leaders and become involved in community service activities. The core courses for this program are EC201, EC202, AC201, AC202 and BA210. It is recommended that you do not take any of these courses prior to applying to the MBI program. However, if you have previously taken any of these classes it will not eliminate your application from consideration. You may speak to a Business & Economics Department advisor or visit the Macklin Scholars Program Office in HU208 on the Rockville campus for further guidance. Applications will be available January 22, 2008. The application deadline for Fall 2008 is April 30, 2008. Applications can be downloaded or found in the Macklin Business Institute office in Humanities 208 on the Rockville campus. Eligibility and Application: Please read the eligibility requirements before applying.
Two-Year Honors Business Program This program is for recent high school graduates or returning Montgomery College students with fewer than 12 credits. Building on the success of the sophomore-level program, The Macklin Business Institute will accept its first ever freshman class to begin in Fall 2008. Students will participate in honors-level curriculum and pursue experiential-learning opportunities through the student-run MBI Cafe and summer internships. In addition, students will gain project management, team-building, and presentation skills through various MBI competitions. To apply for the two-year program, students must have completed high school graduation requirements by the end of June 2008. Scholars are chosen on the basis of high school and/or college records, SAT scores, recommendations, and essays. The application process for the two-year program began in September, with applications due January 25, 2008. Students will be notified of their acceptance by April 5, 2008.
Once accepted to the program, students are required to participate in various experiential learning activities. These activities are designed and intended to enhance what the students are learning in the classroom. Examples of MBI activities include, but are not limited to:
