Professional MBA (PMBA)

23-month Professional MBA

The Executive Graduate Programs Office in the College of Business at Florida Atlantic University is home to the 23-month Professional MBA program, offered at the Boca Raton Campus or Davie Campus.

With courses offered on weeknights, our full service program is specially designed for those with busy personal and professional commitments as well as for those who prefer the convenience of a full service structured cohort program.

The focus of our Professional MBA program is to provide an environment where a concentrated effort between professor and student results in the mastery of all of the components of a graduate-level, business administration curriculum.

FAU's Part Time MBA Program was recently ranked among the best in the world by Bloomberg BusinessWeek's last ranking, and ranks #1 in Florida and #5 in the United States in terms of a student’s return on investment (ROI), with one of the nation’s highest average salary-to-debt ratios after getting an MBA.

The Professional MBA degree program begins each fall and spring semester at the Boca Raton Campus, and each fall at the Davie Campus, and you can choose to attend at the Boca Raton Campus and/or the Davie Campus.

COVID -19 Message
The On-campus Professional Master of Business Administration (PMBA) program is delivered through live synchronous sessions during scheduled class days and times on Mondays and Wednesdays for the Davie Campus program, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Boca Raton Campus program.  Additionally, asynchronous class lectures and mini-lectures are recorded and accessible on demand to enhance class study in our digital learning management system, Canvas.

When Florida Atlantic University is permitted to reopen our campuses for physical attendance—as determined by the State University System—Executive Education will resume on-campus classroom attendance according to established regulations.  Physical attendance in the classroom will be optional until effective regulations allow for a full return to on-campus immersion.
