On-Campus or Online

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 teaches 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 volunteer to help guide Katz students.

Which Part-Time MBA is Right for You?

Our typical part-time MBA program is filled with a wide range of professionals and industries—engineers, accountants, project managers, and marketing team leaders—who look at business issues through a different lens, which enhances classroom discussions

Keep working during the day and spend one or 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.

100% Online Part-Time MBA

Take all courses virtually, in the evening. The synchronous classes enable you to learn from lively and insightful discussions with other students and faculty.

Come to Pittsburgh twice for residency weekends. Network with classmates and earn credit for both weekends to start and conclude your program.
