Overview

Course work in this Business Administration (Behrend) program at Pennsylvania State University emphasizes the integration of business functions and the practical application of theory in the business world using cases, simulated problems, and actual situations students are experiencing at work.

Many students are fully employed professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the classroom.

The program is delivered in a blended format of 25 percent face-to-face instruction on campus or at the Regional Learning Alliance in Cranberry Township and 75 percent online learning. The great majority of our students complete the program on a part-time basis in under two years.
