Program Description:

Penn State's Online MBA
Penn State's online MBA degree program (iMBA) is designed for managers with work experience in fields such as business, engineering, health care, and technology, who seek to position themselves for growth in the global economic environment. The online MBA curriculum integrates cutting-edge business strategies and practical business knowledge — linking management, marketing, finance, accounting, and operations. As a student in the program, you will focus on six business themes derived from the values and concepts found in all areas of high-performance organizations: strategic planning, process management, leadership, customer and market, human resources, and information analysis.

Using rich interaction, two unique residency experiences, and diverse virtual teams that mirror how most organizations function in a global business environment, the iMBA offers a level of quality and rigor consistent with Penn State's international reputation for excellence as an educational institution.

Unique Residency Experiences
Two of the defining components of the Penn State iMBA are the Term 3 and Term 8 residencies. In the Term 3 residency, students study a prominent U.S. firm by spending a week on-site, analyzing their organizational structure and strategy. In the Term 8 residency, students participate in a team business simulation held at Penn State University Park in State College, Pennsylvania. These residency experiences put students in consulting and decision-making roles, allowing them to use the skills and tools developed in the program to find solutions to real business problems.
