Description of learning environment for students
Professional MBA, PMBA (Roanoke and Richmond)
The Professional Master of Business Administration (PMBA) Program at Virginia Tech's Pamplin College of Business is designed with a convenient schedule that allows working professionals earn an advanced degree without interrupting their careers. The program focuses on ethical and entrepreneurial leadership and strategic management of information technology in a global environment. Classes are held monthly and rotate between the Richmond and Roanoke regional education centers.
The key features of this unique new program include:
All required courses and electives are offered on a schedule that accommodates the daytime work commitment of professionals. Typically, students enroll in two courses per semester. The academic requirements for completing the degree part-time are identical to those for full-time students studying in Blacksburg.
The curriculum is designed to take advantage of the university's computer and communications infrastructure and the college's commitment to information technology, leadership, and global business education.
The classes are held in the evenings and on weekends at the ( National Capital Region) Northern Virginia Center, easily accessible from the Capital Beltway, I-66, or Route 7.
The courses are taught full-time and adjunct PhD faculty members who have extensive practical experience and who view the education process as a working partnership with students. Several MBA concentrations integrate faculty expertise from multiple academic departments.
The student body comprises a diverse group of experienced professionals.
Executive MBA, EMBA
Our EMBA program is intended for a select group of individuals with significant experience and with a high potential for continued success in their organizations. Students are encouraged to share their professional experiences in class discussions, so you will benefit not only from our teaching and research expertise, but also from the other business leaders in the program.
This MBA program prepares students for global business challenges through studyabroad programs that include facultyled trips to Africa, Asia and Europe each year. Programs cover a variety of topics including "European Approaches to Information Technology," "Marketing in Turkey and Greece," "Networking and E-Commerce in the European Union" and "Finance and Marketing in Asia." The college also offers a global business minor and a program in the fall and spring semesters at Virginia Tech's Center for European Studies and Architecture in Riva San Vitale, Switzerland.
The Executive MBA Program includes a faculty-led program abroad that is part of the course, "International Strategy and Culture." Experiences from the trip will be the basis for some classroom discussions. Students will meet with and learn from business executives at leading international organizations and foreign government offices. Students may also participate in lectures and seminars conducted by our faculty members at our international partner institutions.
Faculty
The faculty teaching our MBA students within the Pamplin College of Business at Virginia Tech, represent an academically diverse group many of whom have real-world business experience which is enhanced with academic degrees and achievements. 100 percent of the faculty in our MBA programs have doctorate degrees complimented with world class records for research.

The Pamplin College of Business is registered with the Graduate Management Admission Council as a Military-Friendly school.
