The Professional MBA: Built for the Working Leader

Through a cohort-based, hybrid format and a curriculum built for professionals already established in their field, students sharpen their strategic thinking, expand their network and prepare to lead at a higher level, without hitting a career pause. The two-year cohort-based approach has a hybrid format, with 50% of coursework online and the other half in Saturday sessions, designed for working professionals. The eight-week mini-semester approach translates into summers off, while a one-week leadership-focused study abroad experience ensures students have the global focus needed to lead across an organization.

Students have the flexibility to adjust their courseload to suit their needs. However, the program structure is designed for completion in about two to three years.
