Professional MBA

Study at your own pace and accelerate your career with a nationally ranked MBA from one of the most diverse and fastest growing University of California campuses. The UCR Professional MBA program is for professionals who want to build their professional skill sets without interrupting their careers. With a highly flexible curriculum, you can tailor the program to your professional aspirations.

The Professional MBA mirrors the full-time MBA with the same curriculum and the same world-class faculty. You will learn from distinguished scholars and practitioners who have unmatched academic credentials and pursue new applied research projects. The Professional MBA can be completed in as little as under five quarters, or over the course of several years as you drive your career forward.

The Professional MBA is a STEM-certified degree program (science, technology, engineering and math). International students in a STEM-designated program are able to apply for 36 months of Optional Practical Training (OPT) to work in the United States in their field of study after graduation.

Anderson, recruited out of UCR by the Big 6 accounting firms, says he initially wondered how his skills would compare with those of his new colleagues from top 20 business schools. “Without question my skills were as strong if not stronger than those of the others,” he says.  “Not only the leadership and business skills we had learned, but also that quality of being gritty, hungry – and tireless from a work ethic standpoint – that you so often see in UCR students.”
