Applying MBA Skills on the Job

Tepper’s Online / Flex programs offer career-oriented students the opportunity to earn a top-tier MBA while advancing their career.  The combination of work and school allows students to apply technical and managerial skills on the job, putting to use class concepts to solve real problems using real data.

• Optimization Models
• Machine Learning
• Hiring Effective Teams
• Contribution Margins
