The Penn State University’s Smeal College of Business MBA program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to land a perfect post-MBA job as well advance your career. The program is internationally recognized and enrolls students from all over the world. The program which takes two academic years to complete is divided into seven-week modules that allow in-depth coverage of course content. During the first academic year, the program focuses on business fundamentals that help build core competencies in business operations and management. At the beginning of the program, students are taken through an orientation course that is structured to help MBA students lay a foundation for the rest of the program. After the orientation program, students participate in a week-long, faculty-led Concentration Intensive program which highlights the content covered in each primary concentration, providing students with an early opportunity to identify concentrations of interest, begin the job search, and prepare for well for future career fairs. Following this program, students tackle a "Communication Skills for Leaders “course which is covered in the entire first year of the program. This leadership communication course provides students with the tools they need to present their ideas within a business context and in a clear and professionally manner. In the spring semester, apart from the regular coursework, students also engage in Global Business Environment Immersion, which is a week-long practicum that takes an in-depth look at key global economic issues. In the second year of the Smeal MBA, students study elective courses through concentrations and options that align with their unique interests and career goals. The concentrations provide a comprehensive study within a particular area of business, while options provide the opportunity to study in additional areas of focus.
