Applications Open for PSU One-Year MBA

Plymouth State University (PSU) is currently accepting applications for the next cohort for its in-person Master of Business Administration program, in which students complete their degrees in just one year. Applications are due by April 15, 2020 . 

The full-time, on-campus graduate program caters to those looking for a small class setting and gives students the opportunity to pursue advanced business degrees even if they did not study business in their undergraduate coursework.The program is currently structured to serve a cohort of 25 students, with plans to scale the program to accommodate more students in the future.

The first cohort of graduate students began the MBA program in July 2019, and will attend classes together on campus two to four times per week until the program concludes in May 2020.

“We used feedback collected from our current students, prospective students and alumni to create our new cohort MBA program,” says Donald Birx, President, PSU. “Students want to build a community in their classroom and explore business concepts with others from varied backgrounds. Our cohort program gives our students a unique sense of belonging and helps them develop relationships that will serve them after they graduate.”

The PSU cohort MBA program includes courses focused on innovation, entrepreneurship, and applied projects to prepare students to be successful business leaders. 

Fifty prospective students applied for admission to PSU’s inaugural on-campus MBA cohort. The program was capped at 25 students in its inaugural year to ensure that all students will have opportunities to work closely with faculty members and with each other.

Students who did not study business prior to enrolling in the program began by taking two cornerstone courses online in May and June 2019, giving them foundational knowledge to help them successfully complete the program. The full class came together at PSU later in July to begin its rigorous coursework, participating in six in-person classes, two online classes and two classes that combine in-person and online coursework.
