Ship MBA Professional - The Ship MBA Professional program format is designed to meet the needs of working professionals. The program can be completed on a part-time basis in two years, taking two courses a semester and two courses in the summer.  In addition to our Shippensburg campus, this program format is delivered in Harrisburg, York, and East Stroudsburg using electronic classrooms.

Ship MBA Online - The Ship MBA Online is the same AACSB-accredited degree program, utilizing the same highly qualified faculty that has gained a reputation for quality, affordability, and convenience among our on-site students.

This 30-credit program consists of 8 required core courses (3-credits each) and 2 elective courses and is designed to help students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct business successfully in both a domestic and international context. The courses are delivered in a 100% online format using a mix of asynchronous and synchronous lectures, discussions, and exercises.  All synchronous components are optional, allowing students to adapt their class schedule to their life schedule.

Courses are taught in accelerated, eight-week sessions. This provides students to concentrate fully on each course and to complete courses more quickly.

Students in the online program are required to have a computer along with a high-speed internet connection, webcam, and headset/microphone meeting minimum specifications in order to participate in video conferencing sessions as well as other online activities.
