PMBA Curriculum

The PMBA curriculum was recently revamped to emphasize technology integration, cross-functional problem solving, teamwork, and strategic decision making. The curriculum will:

  • Help you learn to identify problems and devise potential solutions.
  • Teach you how to effectively employ technology to make and implement decisions.
  • Develop and nurture your ethical decision making and social responsibility skills.
  • Increase your ability to adapt to a rapidly changing domestic and global business environment.
Our curriculum emphasizes technology integration, cross-functional problem solving, teamwork, and strategic decision making.

Program Structure

To fulfill the PMBA degree requirements, you must complete a minimum of 40 credit hours, including:

  • Leadership Challenge (2 credits)
  • Advanced core courses (24 credits)
  • Electives (12 credits)
  • Basic core courses and/or prerequisite courses (up to 20 additional credits) are required depending on your academic background. Some courses may be waived based upon your undergraduate coursework; contingent upon receiving a grade of 'B' or better in select courses.
