This message is from Derrick Boone from Wake Forest:
Thank you for your interest in the graduate business programs at the Wake Forest University Schools of Business. Most likely your inquiry is the result of an email I sent out In February 2009 encouraging students to apply for our Master of Arts (MA) in Management and Corporate Fellowship programs. Unfortunately, recipients changed, deleted, and added information before forwarding my email and as a result the information you received may not have been accurate. Correct information on our programs is provided below as well as on our website.
