Is a part-time MBA worth it?

Our graduates think so. Almost half of our PMBA alums are executives, VPs, or in C-suite positions. You’ll build your professional network, expand your career opportunities and gain leadership skills that you’ll apply to every project and position you take on for the rest of your career.

Flexibility is built in

While class engagement and participation are a signature of the Olin education experience, we understand professional students need flexibility to balance work, life and studies. That’s why we offer remote participation for a full semester with very few course exclusions. And you can access course recordings up to three times a semester due to issues like business travel or family needs.
