Hybrid learning approach
PennWest California’s 36-credit management MBA includes a blend of online and on-campus courses. Online courses are asynchronous, so you can learn any time, from any location.
You can attend on-campus courses in person or virtually, utilizing web conferencing technology. This “distance learning” option gives you the flexibility to attend some classes in person or complete your degree entirely online.
This flexible MBA in management can be completed in 15 months of full-time study, or on a part-time schedule.
Students wishing to study on-campus or through a combination of on-campus and online coursework (multi-modal) must begin their MBA program in the Fall semester.
