About the Reeves School of Business
Although Methodist University is a young institution, its reputation for excellence is already well-established. Its business and teacher education programs are nationally accredited. Methodist's 8,000+ alumni have enjoyed remarkable success in many fields, most notably education, business, the ministry, and social work. Under the leadership of its third president, Dr. M. Elton Hendricks, the college has added many new curricula and more than doubled its enrollment in the last decade. The University now offers baccalaureate majors in over 50 fields of study and three masters programs, including our Professional MBA programs. The college serves about 2,200 students annually in its fall, spring, and summer semesters. Of the 1,500 students enrolled in the regular day program, 840 live on campus. Another 700 students attend MU at Night. The student body is remarkably diverse in terms of age, nationality, and place of residence; 58 percent are North Carolinians, 38 percent are residents of other states, and four percent are foreign students. Generous financial aid packages are available to all full-time students-day or evening. The Incentive scholarship program, funded entirely by the college, offers scholarships worth $2,500-$7,000 annually, based on the applicant's rank in high school and SAT scores. Eighty-three percent of the students who attend Methodist receive financial aid. The athletic program at Methodist includes 19 NCAA Division III sports. The Monarchs have achieved national prominence in baseball, as well as men's and women's golf, soccer, and track. The University added football in 1989. Many of the college's athletes have become Academic All-Americans. The Benefactor: Charles M. Reeves, Jr. (1919-1995) Charles M. Reeves, Jr. was born November 15, 1919 in Sanford, North Carolina. He was graduated from Sanford High School and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1940; B.S. in Business Administration). Following WW II service in the United States Navy, he founded a bus company in Sanford. In 1949, he established Motor Credit Corporation, forerunner of Provident Finance Company, which was acquired by South Carolina National Bank in 1973. In addition to his dedication to the world of banking, Mr. Reeves was very active in community service organizations. He was also a former member of the Methodist University Board of Trustees. Mr. Reeves is described by his son as a classic "entrepreneur who sees opportunities and then works hard to translate visions into realities." Charles Reeves viewed himself as an optimist and a true believer in the American free enterprise system. In an effort to ensure that the next generation understands this system. Mr. Reeves offered a generous endowment to Methodist University [then Methodist College] in 1986 for its fledgling business program. The University then established the Charles M. Reeves School of Business and Economics. Accreditation The Reeves School of Business is nationally accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) to offer the following business degrees: the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Accounting, Business Administration, Financial Economics, and Marketing. The Business Administration and Marketing majors with concentrations in Professional Golf Management (PGM) are accredited by the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA). Of particular note is the recent recognition by the PGA of Mr. Jerry Hogge, Director of the PGM program as PGA Professional of the Year 2002. Finally, Methodist University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Methodist University through its Reeves School of Business has an affiliation and exchange with the Business School École Superieure de Commerce de Rennes in the Brittany region of France, one of the Grandes Écoles of France, where Methodist students can spend a semester while taking business courses in English for credit at Methodist. Methodist University does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, sex, national or ethnic origin, religious denomination, or disabilities for otherwise qualified persons in its admission process or in the application of its educational, scholarship, loan, athletic, employment, or any other University-sponsored or advertised programs. Business Institutes The Reeves School also houses three separate institutes: The Center for Entrepreneurship, the Institute for Golf and Tennis Management, and the Institute for Business and Marketing Research. These organizations offer community and recognition programs and in some cases non-academic courses to serve specific needs of professionals in south-eastern North Carolina. Business Internship Courses Reeves School students are encouraged to complete an internship at a participating work site. Academic credit is given for this internship through Business 345 and 416 (Internship). Students can take one such program provided they meet the requirements of the course. Interns have been placed throughout Fayetteville in a variety of business and community organizations. A partial list of local company work sites includes Merrill Lynch, the Fayetteville Observer, E.I. Dupont, Soffe manufacturing, WFNC Radio, Smith Advertising, Dark Branch Racquet Club, Fitness Today, The Woman's Center, the North Carolina Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC), various CPA firms, and selected legal practices.
