Business Administration: Professional M.B.A.

Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.): DE

Location(s): Foggy Bottom - Main Campus

Program Overview

Both diversity and individuality are valued in the P.M.B.A. program. While the program is designed for completion in three years, students may work at their own pace and take as long as five years to finish the 52.5 credits. Under our Flex Option, students take one, two or three courses per semester at times that accommodate their schedules. Most classes are offered weeknights between 4:30 and 10 p.m. and on Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. All classes are taught on our Foggy Bottom Campus.

This part-time study program is a dynamic one that brings together teamwork, critical thinking and judgment to prepare P.M.B.A. candidates for success on multiple levels. Students gain proficiency in the fundamentals of business and management, as well as business ethnics. The program is immersed in values, rigorous in theory and experiential in practice. It is enhanced by collaboration with an impressive cross-section of professionals from the public, private and nongovernmental sectors.
