Online Programming at Smeal
Since it launched in fall 2017, record numbers of students have been attracted to the Smeal-led Penn State Online MBA Program—a partnership with Penn State World Campus and business programs at multiple Penn State campuses—because it features the schedule flexibility and concentration variety other MBA programs can’t offer.
“We are hearing from students that the ability to choose from many con-centrations, and the flexibility of being able to control course load from semes-ter to semester is invaluable as they work to be simultaneously successful at work, in school, and at home,” says Stacey Dorang Peeler ’96 LA, ’12 MS LA, managing director of the Penn State Online MBA.
Students from more than 40 states and 20 countries are currently enrolled in the program. They hold jobs in a wide variety of business sectors, including government, healthcare and medicine, oil and gas, consumer goods, defense, aerospace, communications, financial services, and education. For the program’s spring enrollment period—one of three during the year—more than 100 students started their Online MBA journeys.
