WINDSOR, Conn., Aug. 30, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SS&C Technologies (Nasdaq:SSNC), a global provider of investment and financial software-enabled services and software, today announced that The University of Ottawa's Telfer School of Management has incorporated the Zoologic Learning Solutions MBA Essentials web-based courses into its MBA program.
Incoming post-graduate students will be directed by the University to complete Zoologic's accounting and statistics online courses from its MBA Essentials series prior to entering its MBA or MHA programs. The courses will serve as refresher courses for students that have studied finance in their undergraduate program and foundation building for students that have not.
"We are very pleased to have established a robust program in conjunction with Zoologic to provide the MBA Essentials to our incoming MBA and MHA students," said (Dr.) Michael Miles, Director, Telfer School of Management MBA Program, University of Ottawa. "Many incoming students contemplate the quantitative courses with apprehension, having been out of school for many years. The seven modules in this program will undoubtedly reduce this initial entry-issue and prepare our students just-in-time for the quantitative courses that still form a core of all MBA programs."
"We are delighted to be working with Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. "Our continued expansion in academia across Canada and the globe shows the value Zoologic courses offer higher education institutions."
