Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Executive MBA program and other MBA programs offered at PVAMU?

The Executive MBA program is a fast-paced, highly structured program with Saturday hybrid courses. Twelve foundational courses are designed to empower students with professional competencies to be applied immediately in their own business environment.

For students who want more schedule flexibility and a deeper knowledge of specific topics or more time in foundation courses, the College of Business offers a fully online MBA and evening or part-time MBA at the PVAMU Northwest Houston Center. Classes for this MBA program are offered online, in-class and in hybrid format.

I do not have a bachelor’s degree in business. Am I eligible to apply? What about the GMAT/GRE?

Students from all backgrounds are welcome: liberal arts, education, engineering healthcare and so on.  While a bachelor’s degree is required for admission, a bachelor’s degree in business is not required.

There is no GMAT or GRE requirement for admission to this program. Some international students may need to take the TOEFL, but there is no GMAT, GRE or thesis required for admission to the MBA or MSA programs.

Classes for all graduate programs are offered in the fall, spring and summer, with breaks between semesters.
