Virginia Tech’s MBAs for execs

Virginia Business

Virginia Tech is joining the hunt for executives in a hurry to get their MBAs. This month its Pamplin College of Business is launching an executive MBA program at its Northern Virginia Center in Falls Church.

Tech’s Falls Church campus already offers a part-time MBA program. Students typically complete their coursework in about three and a half years. The new executive program cuts that to 18 months. Classes are scheduled around the work week, running from Friday afternoons through Saturdays every other week. Prospective students need at least eight years of management experience.

The Pamplin program adds to a crowded Northern Virginia marketplace. The College of William & Mary and George Mason University in Fairfax both offer executive MBAs there, and prospective students can also choose similar programs at George Washington University’s Loudoun Campus or at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
