The Darla Moore School of Business is opening an eighth Professional MBA regional site at Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Beaufort.
The new site will provide quality distance MBA degrees to the military community in the Beaufort/Bluffton and Tri-Command areas including Marines, sailors, Department of Defense civilians and their family members. Students are being accepted for August 2019 and may apply online.
“Being able to earn their MBA degrees remotely gives active Marines the flexibility they need considering their deployment potential and busy schedules,” said Libby Hendley, managing director of the PMBA program.
In addition, the university offers enrollment services for veterans to help navigate the admissions process and VA educational benefits.
Other members of the Beaufort/Bluffton communities interested in the PMBA program may apply at the USC-Beaufort site. Additional locations are in Aiken, Charleston, Charlotte, Columbia, Greenville and Spartanburg. Students enrolled in the program are considered full-time students at the USC Columbia campus, allowing them access to all campus services.
The Moore School’s 28-month program offers the convenience of earning an MBA in a distance-based format using video conferencing. It is the top-rated part-time program in South Carolina and the No. 22 part-time program nationwide by U.S. News and World Report. Courses are delivered in flexible formats during evenings and select Saturdays for more than 400 students at regional sites.
