The Professional MBA program is completed entirely online. You will begin your coursework with a no-cost, pre-MBA business foundations course that lays the groundwork for the core curriculum in the two weeks prior to the start of classes. You will then progress through the core curriculum before choosing elective courses to tailor your learning outcomes to your career goals.
