Last updated 8 months ago

Getting a Master’s degree in business can help you advance your career and remain a competitive force within an ever-changing marketplace. However, if you are already working in a business career, you might feel that you do not have the time to return to school to further your education and professional development. The Professional MBA program from Lipscomb University can change your view on working towards a Master’s degree, because this program is tailored to the needs of working individuals.

Fitting the program into your schedule

The coursework for the Professional MBA takes place primarily through weekend classes and online courses. Most students in the program are able to maintain full-time employment while completing the program, which takes place over a period of 14 to 18 months. Coursework begins in August, October, January, and March, so you can begin the program whenever it is most convenient for you.

Finely tuning your professional skills

Because the students in the Professional MBA program have experience in the business world, coursework is geared towards enhancing the skills that have already been developed in a professional environment. The program highlights international business with trips abroad to give students a glimpse at new opportunities within the business world.

Using modern technology

Online classes are a cornerstone of the Professional MBA, so basic computer savvy is necessary for success in the program. As you work through your courses, you will gain even more exposure to modern business technology and multimedia that can help you remain current with presentations, analysis, and research relevant to your field.
