Widely published thought leaders in marketing, finance, operations and organizational behavior, Tepper School faculty bring their knowledge into the classroom to help our students learn how to integrate the insight they gain from business analytics into the decisions they make for their organizations.

Online Learning with Value-Added On-Campus Experiences

The MSBA was built from the ground-up and optimized for online learning. Weekly online classes are scheduled with working professionals in mind and give students the opportunity to learn from and interact with tenure track faculty in real time. Off-line content is produced to allow students to view lectures and complete assignments on their own time, in a way that works best for their schedule.

In addition, three on-campus experiences provide students with opportunities to work on real-world business problems as well as the chance to build strong connections with their peers, industry experts and the renowned faculty from the Tepper School of Business. Attendance is expected, but in extenuating circumstances can result in exceptions and alternative arrangements.

In addition to the highly valuable networking and learning experiences, the Tepper School provides online students with a range of career services, including leadership coaching and one-on-one guidance, resume writing workshops and connections to a global alumni community.
