Penn State Behrend makes it easy for Pittsburgh-area residents to earn a prestigious Penn State graduate degree, no travel required.
The Black School of Business offers its AACSB International-accredited MBA in Pittsburgh using a flexible hybrid delivery format that is ideal for busy professionals. Instruction is 75 percent online and 25 percent in person; each course will meet four or five times at the Regional Learning Alliance in Cranberry Woods. Classes typically meet on weeknights between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m.
The curriculum that is taught—and the faculty who teach it—are identical to what is offered to MBA students pursuing their degree on the campus of Penn State Behrend.
If you plan to pursue an MBA in the next year, now is the right time to start completing pre-enrollment competencies (if needed) and begin the application process.
