» Professional MBA

The Professional MBA program is offered in a flexible format, allowing students to customize their pathway. Working professionals who want to maintain momentum in their career may complete the program with evening courses, while students who prefer a more traditional daytime program may pursue this path. Students in the Professional MBA complete the program at a flexible pace in as few as 21 months. Students will work closely with the Argyros School Career Services, which offers a Professional Development Program (PDP). PDP prepares students through active exploration of career assessment, personal brand development and making lasting career connections.

The Professional MBA curriculum offers specialty tracks and concentrations within the program. Each track or concentration identifies a variety of elective courses. Students may choose one of 10 specialty tracks or they may choose a concentration in Finance or Marketing.

Students may take advantage of leadership roles in the Graduate Business Association (GBA) and Argyros Ambassador programs, attend national conferences, participate in case competitions, and engage with top executives both inside and outside the classroom.

Highlights of the Professional MBA include:

Fall or Spring start
Flexible course offerings in the day or evening
