MBA Program Formats

4+1 In-Person Cohort

Plymouth State has launched a new in-person cohort for the MBA in General Management. It is a one year intensive cohort designed for all students. You do not need a business degree or background.

While this program has been set up for current PSU students who will be completing their bachelor’s degree in May of each year, it is also open to anyone who wishes to complete the MBA program through an intensive face-to-face format on campus.

Most classes will be delivered in-person through small classes on our Plymouth, NH campus. You will travel through the courses together, allowing for a personal and friendly learning environment, where you will work closely with our experienced faculty who offer a wide array of business expertise.

Experiential Learning – You will learn by doing, playing a strategic managerial role in projects with real businesses. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to integrate your own business or start-up ideas into classwork making the program relevant and individualized for your personal career goals.

Non-Business Disciplines – Even if you have no business background, Plymouth’s MBA program will work for you. We offer two preparatory online classes taken before the cohort begins to provide you the necessary foundation and knowledge to be successful.

*International students who are interested in studying in the US, should contact the Graduate Admissions Office for more information about the in-person MBA cohort option.

PSU Communication and Media Studies students may consider a 3+1 option to complete your bachelor’s degree in an accelerated three year model, then move into the +1 MBA program for your fourth year at Plymouth State.
