The Eberly College of Business and Information Technology at IUP offers a Masters of Business Administration degree program designed to prepare managers to meet the competitive challenges of the twenty-first century. The program accommodates recent college graduates from all disciplines seeking advanced management training as well as experienced professionals who are looking for additional knowledge and skills in the business arena in order to become more proficient managers.
The IUP MBA program has a strategic and international focus in its curriculum, composition of students, and teaching methods. Faculty members in the MBA program have extensive academic, industrial, and consulting experience and bring a strong, real-world flavor to the classroom.
The objective of the MBA program is to offer students a broad graduate-level general management education with an option to concentrate in Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, International Business, Marketing, or Supply Chain Management. The prevailing theme of the program emphasizes strategic decision making in a changing global environment.
The MBA program can be pursued on either a full-time or part-time (evening) basis. Full-time students with an undergraduate degree in business can complete the program in one calendar year (two semesters and summer session). Full-time students with a non-business undergraduate degree may take up to two years to complete the program. Depending upon prior academic background and business course work, part-time students complete the program in about three years.
The Eberly College of Business and Information Technology also offers a weekend and evening Executive MBA program at our Butler, Johnstown, and Monroeville satellite locations.
