The Tulane Professional MBA (PMBA) program is for rising professionals with at least two years of work experience who are seeking to increase their effectiveness and fast-track their careers in a flexible format.
This three-year, part-time MBA program, comprised of 54 credit hours, is taught by faculty members from Freeman’s prestigious full-time MBA program.
