Utah’s Professional MBA
Our AACSB-accredited, hybrid MBA program was designed with working professionals in mind. Classes are held twice a week, with one evening online and one evening in person. This hybrid approach gives you the convenience of online classes and the benefits of in-person interactions – allowing you to balance work and life responsibilities while earning a transformational degree. Whether you want to change industries or advance your current career, our world-class faculty and staff are ready to help you level up!
You don’t need to quit your job to start your MBA. In fact we ask students to stay fully employed throughout the program. Not only do you graduate with more money in your pocket from working while you’re learning, but you have the opportunity to continuously apply your new knowledge in the workplace. This can lead to some impressive results: students see an average salary increase of 34% by graduation and 56% of students receive a promotion during the program. This is propelled by our world-class career advancement coaches and resources. You will have access to career services as soon as you are admitted.
“Being able to work full time while attending an accredited university with excellent professors was one of the most important criteria in selecting an MBA program. The PMBA program hit all of those marks.”
Getting your MBA does not mean giving up your social life. In fact, our program hosts several networking events each month that connect students, alumni, faculty, and staff. These opportunities include socials, family events, dinners, alumni events, and more
Additionally, every class night on campus has time set aside for networking. This gives you the opportunity to form a lifelong professional network with your cohort. Students bring a wealth of experience from a wide variety of backgrounds and industries. On average, 61% of students hold a non-business undergraduate degree.
“One of the biggest takeaways for me has been the incredible network I’ve been able to develop. Fellow students, staff, and faculty have been extremely helpful and have added so much to my experience.”
We’ve designed our hybrid MBA program to minimize disruption to your schedule and maximize your educational experience. Classes are only two nights a week with one night online and one night on campus. You get the convenience of online classes and the benefits of in-person interactions.
We take a balanced approach to your course schedule as well: Students typically only take two courses at a time. This pacing still allows for the program to be completed in six semesters with classes held year-round. In other words, the program can be completed in as little as 24 months.
“The Professional MBA program aligned with my lifestyle on every level. It met me where I was personally and professionally, and it allowed me to structure my education to achieve my goals.”
