Part-Time MBA highlights

  • Schedule Built to Fit Your Busy Life

    In-person classes are held at the W&M Peninsula Center in Newport News, just off I-64. Each 3-credit hour course meets one evening per week, 7:00-9:50 pm.

  • Working Professional MBA Advantages

    Earning your MBA as a working professional has distinct advantages: You maintain career momentum, maximize earnings, stay current with industry and technology developments, and network with professionals like yourself who are upwardly mobile and employed at all the big companies in the area. And you will apply what you learn immediately, impressing your boss and your boss’s boss.
