WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.840 2 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:02.580 Hi, I'm Aaron Weaver. 3 00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:04.600 And we're here at the Kelley School of Business 4 00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:08.039 to talk about our Executive Education partnership 5 00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:10.060 with the rugby association. 6 00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:13.800 So I'm a program manager with exec ed 7 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.500 and been here about a year. 8 00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:17.920 But I spent 10 years in professional sports 9 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.420 before this with the Indiana Pacers. 10 00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:25.200 So since I started, we've really revamped our strategy 11 00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:30.160 around the athlete and helping answer the question, what 12 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:31.980 life looks like after sport. 13 00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:34.480 So I think this partnership will be 14 00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:37.180 something that is going to benefit a lot of you guys. 15 00:00:37.180 --> 00:00:41.060 And we're just here to give you an overview of what to expect. 16 00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:44.360 So this is Dr. Carolyn Goerner, who is our faculty chair 17 00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:46.760 and our executive director. 18 00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:50.400 And she can talk you through some of our degree offerings 19 00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:51.820 and nondegree offerings. 20 00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:56.000 But we're glad to have you here and hope you enjoy. 21 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:56.660 Very much. 22 00:00:56.660 --> 00:00:58.240 So thanks, Aaron. 23 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.780 When we talk about our degree programs, 24 00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:03.960 we basically are looking at a couple of different things 25 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.360 that are available to you. 26 00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:09.160 The first is this idea of what we call stackable graduate 27 00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:10.000 degrees. 28 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.880 And so fundamentally, we've got a series of three degrees that 29 00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:20.120 allow you to keep going or stop at various points along the way. 30 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:21.760 The Business Management Certificate 31 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.280 is four classes, 12 credit hours. 32 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.260 And it's an overview of business. 33 00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:29.140 You'll get marketing, operations, finance, 34 00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:31.920 those sorts of basic decision-making tools 35 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.760 that most people need for just a basic understanding of business. 36 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.440 I want you to notice the two rates in that middle red column 37 00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:40.560 there. 38 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.620 The standard rate, if you were to come in just off the street, 39 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:47.480 is about $23,000 for that certificate. 40 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.220 But because we are partnering with the rugby associations, 41 00:01:52.220 --> 00:01:58.240 the players associations rate is $12,600 for that Business 42 00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:00.320 Management Graduate Certificate. 43 00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:03.880 All 12 of those credits can apply towards an MS 44 00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:05.790 in Strategic Management. 45 00:02:05.790 --> 00:02:09.930 And again, you've got some flexible time to complete that. 46 00:02:09.930 --> 00:02:12.910 That's 10 courses, so 6 additional courses 47 00:02:12.910 --> 00:02:14.430 after the certificate. 48 00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:16.390 And if you want to keep going, we 49 00:02:16.390 --> 00:02:20.710 can take all of those 30 credits and put them into an MBA. 50 00:02:20.710 --> 00:02:24.630 That is just an additional 18 credit hours or six classes. 51 00:02:24.630 --> 00:02:28.450 So these are designed to not have you leave with nothing, 52 00:02:28.450 --> 00:02:29.350 if you will. 53 00:02:29.350 --> 00:02:32.630 You might get to the MS and say, hey, that's plenty, 54 00:02:32.630 --> 00:02:34.830 or the MBA may be your ultimate goal, 55 00:02:34.830 --> 00:02:36.550 and that's where you wind up. 56 00:02:36.550 --> 00:02:39.190 Either way, we really pride ourselves 57 00:02:39.190 --> 00:02:42.310 on having a lot of flexibility around these degrees. 58 00:02:42.310 --> 00:02:45.190 So you've got enough time to complete 59 00:02:45.190 --> 00:02:48.710 them to be able to take a quarter off, or be 60 00:02:48.710 --> 00:02:51.690 able to take a break and come back to the classes, 61 00:02:51.690 --> 00:02:54.810 because we know that life happens and sport happens. 62 00:02:54.810 --> 00:02:57.710 And we want to give folks the opportunity to do that. 63 00:02:57.710 --> 00:03:01.190 So you have up to five years to complete the MBA. 64 00:03:01.190 --> 00:03:03.670 The other piece that we're really proud of 65 00:03:03.670 --> 00:03:07.190 is that, for us, online education, 66 00:03:07.190 --> 00:03:09.230 well, it's a contact sport. 67 00:03:09.230 --> 00:03:11.750 We really do feel like this is something 68 00:03:11.750 --> 00:03:14.510 where people have to be engaged in order to learn. 69 00:03:14.510 --> 00:03:19.270 So all of our courses have live instruction once a week. 70 00:03:19.270 --> 00:03:23.470 You can either attend that live or watch it if you have to, 71 00:03:23.470 --> 00:03:24.850 taped if you miss it. 72 00:03:24.850 --> 00:03:26.670 But fundamentally, our instructors 73 00:03:26.670 --> 00:03:30.350 are the same folks who are teaching in all of our other MBA 74 00:03:30.350 --> 00:03:32.070 programs here at Kelley. 75 00:03:32.070 --> 00:03:36.710 So it's not like you're getting something that is put aside 76 00:03:36.710 --> 00:03:38.450 or a well-kept secret. 77 00:03:38.450 --> 00:03:41.550 These are the best of the best in terms of our instructors. 78 00:03:41.550 --> 00:03:44.150 And they're giving you the quality of a Kelley 79 00:03:44.150 --> 00:03:46.470 School of Business MBA. 80 00:03:46.470 --> 00:03:47.730 What is that quality? 81 00:03:47.730 --> 00:03:49.015 I'm glad you asked. 82 00:03:49.015 --> 00:03:50.390 Fundamentally, there's two things 83 00:03:50.390 --> 00:03:52.290 you need to know about us here at Kelley. 84 00:03:52.290 --> 00:03:55.270 The first is that we are fundamentally practical. 85 00:03:55.270 --> 00:04:00.470 If we are in a situation where somebody needs to do something, 86 00:04:00.470 --> 00:04:02.950 then that's what we've prepared people for. 87 00:04:02.950 --> 00:04:05.710 On the other hand, if you really want something 88 00:04:05.710 --> 00:04:08.090 that's more theoretical, if you just 89 00:04:08.090 --> 00:04:10.710 want to contemplate theories of economics, 90 00:04:10.710 --> 00:04:12.390 yeah, go somewhere else. 91 00:04:12.390 --> 00:04:15.030 We are really the kind of folks who are instead 92 00:04:15.030 --> 00:04:18.029 going to focus on how you can take what you're learning 93 00:04:18.029 --> 00:04:20.390 and use it the next day. 94 00:04:20.390 --> 00:04:22.690 I teach negotiation for our MBAs. 95 00:04:22.690 --> 00:04:24.910 And literally, if my students can't 96 00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:28.750 use what we've done in class the next day, I've done it wrong. 97 00:04:28.750 --> 00:04:31.190 So that's very much our philosophy. 98 00:04:31.190 --> 00:04:33.550 Second thing to know about a Kelley MBA 99 00:04:33.550 --> 00:04:35.590 is we're pretty good at it. 100 00:04:35.590 --> 00:04:39.750 We are the home of the number one online MBA in the US, 101 00:04:39.750 --> 00:04:42.470 and actually, a couple of years in the world 102 00:04:42.470 --> 00:04:45.070 now in terms of really being good at this. 103 00:04:45.070 --> 00:04:48.030 We've been doing online education since people first 104 00:04:48.030 --> 00:04:50.310 started thinking about it in the '90s. 105 00:04:50.310 --> 00:04:53.130 So at this point, we've really got it down to a science. 106 00:04:53.130 --> 00:04:54.430 We're feeling pretty good. 107 00:04:54.430 --> 00:04:56.140 So a lot of you guys know Chris Mattina. 108 00:04:56.140 --> 00:05:01.670 He's a former player, of course, and is now working at the PA. 109 00:05:01.670 --> 00:05:04.250 And he actually holds his MBA degree as well. 110 00:05:04.250 --> 00:05:08.350 So love to get his thoughts on everything 111 00:05:08.350 --> 00:05:13.590 regarding his experience and our partnership here with Kelley. 112 00:05:13.590 --> 00:05:16.150 Let's hear from Chris. 113 00:05:16.150 --> 00:05:18.070 Thanks, guys, appreciate it. 114 00:05:18.070 --> 00:05:19.750 And thanks everyone for coming. 115 00:05:19.750 --> 00:05:20.930 My name is Chris Mattina. 116 00:05:20.930 --> 00:05:24.430 I'm the Executive Director of the US RPA. 117 00:05:24.430 --> 00:05:26.270 I put together this wonderful partnership 118 00:05:26.270 --> 00:05:28.250 with Kelley School of Business. 119 00:05:28.250 --> 00:05:31.350 And we're really excited to bring this to all the players. 120 00:05:31.350 --> 00:05:36.322 This partnership comes to all players, current players, 121 00:05:36.322 --> 00:05:38.890 former players as well as their spouses. 122 00:05:38.890 --> 00:05:40.970 So a really wide ranging group of people, 123 00:05:40.970 --> 00:05:43.670 and we're really excited to offer it to you. 124 00:05:43.670 --> 00:05:45.370 But just from my personal experience, 125 00:05:45.370 --> 00:05:46.950 I actually got my MBA. 126 00:05:46.950 --> 00:05:51.110 I did my MBA when I was playing for [INAUDIBLE] back in 2018. 127 00:05:51.110 --> 00:05:55.850 I had a partnership with USOC and DeVry University, 128 00:05:55.850 --> 00:05:59.350 and I got to get my MBA scholarship as well. 129 00:05:59.350 --> 00:06:01.390 And it's really gone a long way. 130 00:06:01.390 --> 00:06:04.110 And I'm currently running two different businesses, 131 00:06:04.110 --> 00:06:07.790 my own academy, as well as a nonprofit teaching 132 00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:09.430 rugby in New York City. 133 00:06:09.430 --> 00:06:11.570 I'm also running the players' association. 134 00:06:11.570 --> 00:06:16.180 So I really use my MBA to help increase 135 00:06:16.180 --> 00:06:19.260 the level of my businesses and really 136 00:06:19.260 --> 00:06:24.860 just kind of was a way for me to do that while playing. 137 00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:26.780 And it's been really awesome for me 138 00:06:26.780 --> 00:06:29.940 to get that done and really use it after I 139 00:06:29.940 --> 00:06:33.940 finished playing my rugby. 140 00:06:33.940 --> 00:06:35.820 And I just also wanted to talk about, just 141 00:06:35.820 --> 00:06:40.646 as an athlete, preparing for life after athletics. 142 00:06:40.646 --> 00:06:43.020 Being able to do your MBA while playing 143 00:06:43.020 --> 00:06:46.020 is something that is really, really important to me. 144 00:06:46.020 --> 00:06:51.160 Rugby's not going to provide for you for the rest of your life. 145 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.820 So really just keeping an eye on what you're going 146 00:06:53.820 --> 00:06:55.820 to do after that is important. 147 00:06:55.820 --> 00:06:58.800 So while I was playing, I knew what I had to do something. 148 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.860 And I wasn't able to work a full-time job because 149 00:07:00.860 --> 00:07:02.460 of the rugby schedule. 150 00:07:02.460 --> 00:07:04.660 But the MBA was a perfect opportunity 151 00:07:04.660 --> 00:07:08.020 to advance my education and to prepare myself 152 00:07:08.020 --> 00:07:09.360 for life after rugby. 153 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.860 So when I was able to do that, obviously, when you're playing, 154 00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:15.480 you're really focused on playing. 155 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.020 But this gives you a little bit something 156 00:07:18.020 --> 00:07:19.720 to think about outside of the game. 157 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.520 And it really did well for me. 158 00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:28.500 And I really appreciated that and really [INAUDIBLE]. 159 00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:32.160 In terms of just the flexibility of Kelley, 160 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:38.180 it's been really, really great to [INAUDIBLE] where you really 161 00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:41.300 have the opportunity to do work, but you can't work a full time 162 00:07:41.300 --> 00:07:46.932 job, but you can advance your career in education as well. 163 00:07:46.932 --> 00:07:49.400 Yeah, I really recommend it. 164 00:07:49.400 --> 00:07:51.580 I think it's an amazing thing, and it's really 165 00:07:51.580 --> 00:07:53.700 helped me in the long run. 166 00:07:53.700 --> 00:07:55.040 What have I missed, Aaron? 167 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:56.340 I think that's it. 168 00:07:56.340 --> 00:08:00.660 We've got a new series that we're 169 00:08:00.660 --> 00:08:03.500 unveiling on the open enrollment, nondegree side 170 00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:06.560 that we're really excited about, so stay tuned for that. 171 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:11.820 And then, like Carolyn said, use that code, RUGBY15, 172 00:08:11.820 --> 00:08:16.120 and you get 50% off all of those courses. 173 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.000 So there are some online offerings as well-- 174 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.660 the AI in marketing, and then we've 175 00:08:22.660 --> 00:08:26.880 got an AI agents course and AI for business executives. 176 00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:28.800 So plenty of options. 177 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.000 If you want to check out our website, scan those QR codes. 178 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:37.100 And we look forward to having more of you guys joining us 179 00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:40.039 and get this ball rolling. 180 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:43.080 And the good news is you won't go to just some nameless, 181 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:44.260 faceless bot. 182 00:08:44.260 --> 00:08:46.020 Aaron is actually the person who will 183 00:08:46.020 --> 00:08:48.640 handle all of your inquiries and questions. 184 00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:52.580 So he's a nice guy, I promise. 185 00:08:52.580 --> 00:08:56.500 So please, keep any inquiries or questions coming. 186 00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:59.400 Speaking of questions, we're open. 187 00:08:59.400 --> 00:09:01.860 What questions do folks who are watching us have? 188 00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:02.750 And how can we help? 189 00:09:02.750 --> 00:09:16.650 190 00:09:16.650 --> 00:09:19.850 Nothing from Lauren or Haley? 191 00:09:19.850 --> 00:09:22.090 All right, well, if you think of anything, just-- 192 00:09:22.090 --> 00:09:22.910 Please stay on. 193 00:09:22.910 --> 00:09:24.430 Yep, scan that QR code. 194 00:09:24.430 --> 00:09:26.050 Reach out. 195 00:09:26.050 --> 00:09:30.110
