Since 1960, the Katz Graduate School of Business has been recognized as a leader in business education and research. One of the 16 founding members of the AACSB, Katz is home to one of the first federally funded Centers for International Business and Research. Katz has a world-class faculty dedicated to cutting-edge and innovative research and teaching. The schools location in the heart of the nations #1 most livable city (2009 The Economist) enables Katz to establish strong relations with corporations located in the Pittsburgh region.
The Katz school has embraced a strategic vision founded on the concept of experienced-based learning. We have incorporated simulations, case competitions, and Consulting Field Projects in our curriculum to ensure that our MBA graduates add immediate value to their employers when they enter the workforce. Our strategic vision also emphasizes value chain management, globalism, entrepreneurship, and collaboration.
The Katz School offers a two-year MBA, a one-year MBA, and a part-time MBA program. Students can choose a concentration area and an optional cross-disciplinary certificate in Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship; Global Supply Chain Management; and Organizational Leadership. Other opportunities include a Six Sigma greenbelt certification program, international exchange programs, and global research practicum trips.
The School also offers six joint and dual-degree programs through which MBA students add specialization to their business education. Options include:
