FlexMode: Distance Learning MBA

Since 1996, Carnegie Mellon’s business school has offered its distance education program at various corporate sites throughout the United States such as Hartford, CT (United Technologies), Greenville, SC (GE Power Systems), and Fort Worth, TX (Lockheed Martin). The FlexMode MBA Program is a real-time (i.e. live) interactive program. It is a part-time program and the degree requirements are completed over a three-year period. The FlexMode Program enables the participants to maintain their gainful employment while pursuing the MBA degree. This program eliminates the need to relocate as well as saves 2 years of time, the standard for full-time MBA programs. The corporate site benefits by not losing the talents and services of valuable employees. The investment of the companies in their employees and the earning power of those employees are protected.

The entry and exit requirements for this distance education program are identical to those of the two-year, full time program offered at our campus in Pittsburgh: same faculty, same courses, same homework assignments, and same exams; nothing is diluted.

If you are interested in the program but your company does not currently provide a site, a program presentation by our team can be conducted at your workplace in order to determine the level of interest. We require a minimum of eight students per site in order to deliver the program to a corporate location. Please contact Susan Rostek at susana@andrew.cmu.edu to begin this process.
