Arizona State University is locating its newest W.P. Carey Evening MBA and Custom Corporate MBA programs at Chandler 101, an executive office park to be developed by The Rockefeller Group in Chandler’s prestigious Price Corridor.

This program will be the first of its kind in Chandler, and complement the Price Corridor’s economic development strategy of recruiting high-tech, high-wage employers.

“Chandler has been working diligently to bring an added educational presence to our city,” Chandler mayor Jay Tibshraeny said Monday at a press conference to announce the partnership. “ASU makes a great addition to the Price Corridor, which attracts high-profile businesses and an educated workforce.”

Because the Price Corridor is home to six miles of large-campus, high-wage employers, this location allows ASU to reach a large executive workforce in a convenient location.

“Bringing ASU’s highly-ranked MBA programs to Chandler offers the opportunity for ASU to provide a stellar business education to working professionals in the area that ultimately will benefit the state’s economy,” said ASU president Michael M. Crow.

Chandler 101 will include 844,000 SF on 24 acres with 8- to 10-story office towers, restaurants, retail, and a parking structure on the SEC of Chandler Blvd. and the 101 Freeway. ASU’s presence will help make Chandler 101 attractive to prospective tenants, as it will offer on-site convenience to higher education to their employees. Colliers International, Inc. will be representing The Rockefeller Group for all leasing inquiries.

“The Rockefeller Group is pleased that ASU’s W. P. Carey School of Business MBA Programs will be part of Chandler 101,” said Mark Singerman, regional director, Rockefeller Group Development Corporation. “We look forward to securing an anchor tenant so that we can begin development on phase one.”

The W. P. Carey School of Business at ASU is one of the largest and highest-ranked business schools in the U.S. The school will offer its prestigious evening MBA program in Chandler that is currently ranked number 17 among all part-time MBA programs, according to U.S. News & World Report. The evening MBA program is an ideal fits for professionals who want to broaden managerial and professional expertise.

The school will also offer its new Chandler location as an option for custom corporate MBA programs. These can be specifically designed around individual company’s strategic objectives. Custom corporate courses create opportunities for businesses to develop future leaders, elevate managers’ knowledge and skill levels, link course content to company challenges and aid in attracting and retaining top talent.
