Program Information
Golden Gate University has partnered with University HUB to co-design professional graduate programs that educate working professionals and international students. These programs are offered in a Hybrid teaching modality, which requires international students to fulfill in-person residency requirements at Golden Gate University’s San Francisco campus for two weekends during each 15-week academic trimester. This program is offered with two tracks: General & Internship. The Internship Track requires an additional five units of internship coursework to be completed concurrently with the academic coursework over the duration of the program. Note: This STEM-designated degree program is available only to students who enroll via the University HUB platform.
Aligned to GGU’s leadership and service mission, the Professional Master of Business Administration is a comprehensive, rigorous, and interdisciplinary program designed to equip current and future business leaders with the essential knowledge, skills, STEM-focused training, and strategic mindset required to excel in today’s dynamic and competitive global business environment. Inspired by innovative practices from San Francisco and the nearby Silicon Valley, this program draws from existing courses from GGU’s Leadership, MBA, Finance, Operations, ITM, Project Management, Marketing, and Business Analytics programs in creating a balanced blend of core business disciplines, specialized functional areas, and real-world experiential learning opportunities, enabling advanced students to develop an interdisciplinary management science approach to making decisions and solving problems.
Students can directly apply their learning in their jobs as they pursue their degrees. Unlike traditional master’s degrees, professional master’s programs emphasize technical training and developing in-demand business and leadership skills.
