Applications are now open, with the first cohort beginning classes in fall 2026.
“We’ve created a program that blends flexibility with the personal connection Muhlenberg is known for,” says Bruce Anderson, dean of the School of Graduate Studies. “Through live online classes, small cohorts, and faculty who truly know their students, we’re offering an MBA experience that’s both practical and deeply human, one that helps students think boldly, lead ethically, and achieve meaningful results in their organizations and communities.”
The Muhlenberg MBA is a fully online program that can be completed in as little as 24 months. Although it is designed for working professionals and emerging leaders, it features a weekly live (synchronous) class each week, so that students benefit from real-time interaction with expert faculty and peers in small, supportive classes — ensuring personalized attention and mentorship.
The curriculum equips MBA candidates with leadership skills to think strategically, creatively, and ethically and does so with the proven ROI of a Muhlenberg degree. Elective pathways enable students to tailor the degree to their field. Additionally, a 4+1 pathway is being designed to create a streamlined route for Muhlenberg undergraduates to earn both a bachelor’s degree and an MBA in five years.
The Mules Advantage Scholarship is available to Muhlenberg alumni who enroll in a School of Graduate Studies program, including the MBA. Eligible students will receive a tuition discount of 20% on each course throughout their program. This scholarship can not be combined with other Muhlenberg tuition discounts.
