CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY TEXAS AND
TASBO ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP
TASBO MEMBERS CAN EARN MBA IN SFO AT A DISCOUNT
TASBO surveyed members on their higher education preferences and found Concordia University Texas’ MBA in SFO program.
Concordia University Texas and the
Texas Association of School Business
Officials (TASBO) are partnering
together to offer TASBO members the
ability to earn their MBA of School
Finance and Operations (SFO) at a
reduced rate.
The SFO is Concordia’s newest
concentration in the MBA program.
This specialty is designed for those
aspiring to take on leadership roles
in the central office of an educational
setting. Aside from the core MBA
courses, students will take four
specialty courses specifically tailored
for the K-12 education. Fieldwork
components will be embedded into the
courses giving students observational
knowledge of how school districts
function.
TASBO members going for their SFO
will enjoy a $50 discount per credit
hour. This amounts to more than
$2,000 in total savings.
“Not only are we excited about the
partnership between Concordia
and the Texas Association of School
26
Business Officials, we are also
delighted that part of the agreement
gives TASBO members a $50 discount
per credit hour for the program,”
Allen Brown, AVP for Academics at
Concordia University, said. “This
amounts to more than $2,000 in
savings over the term of the program.
This is significant, and we hope this
will encourage TASBO members to
take advantage of the fine program we
have put together for them.”
Possessing an SFO helps increase
marketability of graduates and gives
professionals the ability to improve
their expertise. It is valid in more than
1,000 Texas school districts.
“TASBO surveyed our members and
determined there was a need for
a graduate degree program with a
specialization of school finance and
operations,” TASBO Board President
Randy McDowell, CFO from Rockwall
ISD, said. “We’re very proud to
partner with Concordia University
Texas to be able to offer this degree
program to our members and help
them reach their career goals.”
Concordia University Texas is a
regionally accredited institution of
higher education, offering graduate
degrees with flexible deliveries. The
Master of Business Administration
program is structured specifically
for working professionals seeking to
