MMG Insurance and Husson University Sign Agreement

BANGOR, MAINE, June 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MMG Insurance in Presque Isle, Maine and Husson University announced today that they have signed an agreement to provide all of the employees of MMG Insurance who enroll in any of the University’s Certificate, Bachelor of Science and Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs, with a tuition discount. In addition, those who complete MMG’s Emerging Leaders Program can now receive college credit at Husson University.

“MMG Insurance is continually working to enhance our employee benefits,” said Dave McPherson, chief operating officer (COO) at MMG Insurance. “Our corporate partnership with Husson creates an additional path to access education for our team members, which ultimately provides additional personal development to help them grow in their roles and in the company. We want our employees to have the tools and support they need to reach their goals, and programs like this are a key component of that.”

In addition to the certificate and undergraduate degree programs, the corporate partnership rate can be applied by any MMG employee looking to earn Husson’s traditional Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree with a general/corporate focus. Employees can also pursue Husson MBA programs with concentrations in business analytics, organizational management, and risk management.

Any MMG employees who have completed bachelor’s degrees, from recognized, accredited institutions, are eligible to enroll in Husson’s MBA programs. This includes individuals who have completed bachelor’s degrees in disciplines other than business. To assist these employees, Husson will offer a leveling course or courses that can be taken online. This will provide these students with the background business education they’ll need to successfully complete their MBA studies.

In addition, any MMG Insurance employees who have completed courses at another accredited college or university are welcome to apply for transfer credit. Individuals interested in learning more about transfer credits should contact Husson University Admissions by calling them at 207.941.7000 or emailing them at admit@husson.edu. They are happy to answer any questions individuals may have about the credit transfer and admissions processes.
