Accelerated Professional MBA (PMBA)

The Simon Accelerated PMBA is designed for working professionals who seek to maximize their learning at an accelerated pace. The PMBA is a partial lock-step, class cohort system in which teams of students take their nine core courses together in a structured program of two evening classes per quarter. Thereafter, each individual selects 11 required electives to complete his or her desired concentration(s). Continuing at two classes per quarter, cohort members typically complete their degrees in two and a half years.

Benefits of the Simon Accelerated PMBA include:

• Fast-track core course completion
• Facilitated learning through cohort study groups
• Scholarships for improved affordability/return on investment
• Textbooks included in tuition fees for core courses
• Working professional peer classmates and business networking opportunities
• Special events and services for PMBA candidates
• Simplified registration for cohort members
• Dedicated resources for guidance/assistance
• Choose from 15 MBA concentrations
• Math review provided at no charge
• Ability to transfer to flexible part-time program if circumstances require

The program is open to new students, current non-matriculates and matriculates who have completed three or fewer classes. For more information about the Simon PMBA, download the PMBA Brochure.
