You decide how you want to earn your degree—on-campus or online— and we’ll provide our highly ranked MBA program to drive your career forward.  

All courses in our Part-Time MBA program options are taught by the same accomplished faculty that teach the full-time MBA classes. Both the online and on-campus programs use cohort-based learning.  As you progress through the courses together, you’ll form genuine connections with other students from diverse backgrounds and industries — and enjoy a more immersive experience.  

The part-time MBA programs are designed to be completed in 2-3 years. Plus, you can receive personalized career advice from our Executives in Residence and get access to Pitt’s extensive alumni network in the field of your choice. These accomplished professionals have impressive professional backgrounds and offer their experience to help guide Katz students.

Keep working during the day and spend two evenings a week investing in your future with the program that fits your lifestyle. If your schedule permits, a wide range of student organizations and experiential learning activities are available to you.

Choose electives to match your individual goals. In addition to matching your electives to your professional interests, you can also complete a Katz Credential. Credentials are a bundle of specialized coursework that builds your capabilities, knowledge, and experience in a meaningful way.  We offer 18 credential tracks in topic areas ranging from managerial decision-making, digital marketing & big data, business analytics, leading people in organizations decision-making and much more.  

Take part in a Capstone Project. Students research companies prior to visiting them.
