New Master's Degree Offered in School of Business Administration  The Texas Wesleyan School of Business Administration and Professional Programs began offering a new master's degree this semester: the Master in Management. Fifteen students are enrolled and all are pursuing the public administration track. All 15 of these students are with the City of Fort Worth, which set aside $25,000 last semester and this semester to cover the cost of tuition, fees and books. The program appears to have a bright future with the public and private sector, as all of these organizations are looking for specific training to prepare their future managers and leaders.
