The Program

Mervis Hall Atrium
A Katz MBA is available in multiple formats: Accelerated (one-year) MBA, Signature (18-month) MBA, Part-time MBA, Joint-degree, Dual-degree, Master of Science, or Executive MBA. All formats prepares students to make an immediate impact on day one, whether you're switching careers or ready for that next promotion. Our students learn from entrepreneurial faculty. They immerse themselves in global markets. Central to their education are many experience-based, integrated learning opportunities, including Consulting Field Projects, various Fellowships, Global Research Practicums and our capstone consulting project for full- and part-time MBA students. We are molding a new breed of leader: an open-minded collaborator who thrives on cross-cultural teams.
Our EMBA Worldwide program prepares senior-level professionals to reach new heights in the global economy. Our EMBA students are already successful in their careers-most have an average of 14 years of work experience-and we develop their strategic vision so they can seize bold, new opportunities. The hallmarks of our program are our Global Executive Forums, where students take one week trips to international destinations, immersing themselves in international business, and networking with their classmates.
Katz also offers several Masters of Science programs in Accounting, Business Analytics, Finance, Management, Supply Chain Management, Management of Information Systems, and Marketing Science. These full-time programs allow for greater specialization within rapidly growing business fields. All programs are designed for people with little to no work experience and can be completed in as few as nine-months, with only the MS in Accounting requiring any business background.
The University

The Cathedral of Learning - the tallest building in the western hemisphere devoted to learning.
Founded in 1787, the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) is among the oldest and most prestigious universities in the United States. The vast resources of the University are used to push the frontiers of knowledge in intellectual, economic, scientific, and social endeavors. Pitt is central to Pittsburgh's renaissance as the most livable city in the United States (Forbes, The Economist).
With an annual enrollment of 35,000 students, Pitt is a major research institution that offers more than 400 distinct degree programs through its 16 schools of study at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels. Its alumni and faculty include winners of the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, as well the first scientists to synthesize insulin and develop a vaccine for polio.
The Business School

This guiding principle helps them to envision bold research questions, apply new ideas to conventional teaching methods, and take well-calculated risks. Our faculty are widely published in top-ranked research journals and provide expert opinion in leading publications, including the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Financial Times and The Economist. In addition to winning numerous external research awards, members of our faculty have been honored with the University of Pittsburgh's highest honors for their teaching, research, and service.

Location

Downtown 4th of July Fireworks
Located in Pennsylvania's second-largest city, the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) is an indispensable partner to Pittsburgh's civic and economic reinvention. The city's old way of life was forged by steel. Today Pittsburgh boasts a diversified economy fueled by higher education, health care, finance, computer technology, energy, and industry, and the city has earned accolades for being the most livable in the United States (Forbes, The Economist.)
By attending Pitt, you have access to a level of cultural amenities, scenic beauty, and entrepreneurial opportunities that are second to none. At Katz, Pittsburgh isn't just our address. It defines who we are. We're proud to be educating people who can take the lessons learned in Pittsburgh to organizations of any type around the world.
Accommodation
Katz MBA students typically live in off-campus housing. Pittsburgh offers abundant affordable housing in comparison to other American cities. Many of our students live within walking distance to campus. Those who don't can ride public transit in the city free of charge with their Pitt student ID. Pittsburgh's transit system comprises a network of buses, subway/light rail, and inclines.
Katz EMBA students don't all live in Western Pennsylvania. Students commute from their homes in Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio; Harrisburg and Philadelphia, Pa.; Buffalo, N.Y.; Washington, D.C. and many other locations in the Eastern U.S. Katz EMBA students often carpool to Pittsburgh.
Although many of our EMBA students stay in nearby hotels, fellow students have been known to graciously host those traveling in from out of town for class.
Student Life

Katz is home to more than a dozen student clubs and organizations-everything from the finance club to photography. Our students practice their leadership skills and make new friendships by getting involved. You're also able to create your own club as a student.
Katz students are involved in community service projects throughout the year. They volunteer their time and talents to clean up the community, feed and clothe the needy, and raise money to help find a cure for cancer.
