 Students
freed from the constraints of a traditional program, your classmates
in the Professional MBA program come from a wide variety of geographic
locations and bring with them a great diversity of backgrounds and
experience to share with others in the program. Students with undergraduate
degrees in both business and nonbusiness areas find the program well-suited
to their needs.
faculty
Professional MBA students benefit from contact
with faculty members who come from leading universities across the
nation and who have extensive research, consulting and corporate experience.
Most faculty members who teach in the Professional MBA program are
the same as those in the traditional, on-campus MBA program. A number
of faculty members have international reputations in areas that define
the cutting edge of business education and practice. No matter what
your needs or location, you will discover that Ole Miss MBA professors
are just a short visit or a mouse-click away. They are invested in
the process of learning and truly passionate about students.

Within the framework of the courses, one is allowed some flexibility in arranging his/her deadlines for tests, homework assignments, and group projects. However, do not confuse flexibility with academic leniency; the professional MBA program will challenge you. The program is enriched by the reflections of fellow students juxtaposing their related-work experience(s) to relevant course topics.

| The PMBA program has been a rewarding experience so far. It is amazing how connected and supportive of each other the class has become, even virtually. The onsite meetings have helped orient us with our classmates and upcoming professors, a very positive experience. There is a learning curve as we settle into our routine and find our own discipline levels to get the work done. But the program’s flexibility is key to fitting an MBA into our busy work and personal lives.

| The PMBA provides a greater return on classroom knowledge. The skills that you learn throughout the program can be immediately applied to the workplace. What you learn on Monday, can have an effect by Friday!
