What do employers think of the online iMBA?
Most employers see no difference between a resident MBA and the Penn State online MBA, and often encourage online education. Approximately 70 percent of our students receive financial support from their employers. Also, our current students represent employers from 37 states and 5 countries. Kevin Maddox, regional marketing manager for Alcon, found that “taking the iMBA is definitely an educational advantage, as it parallels the growing e-commerce components of business. We are all communicating electronically and globally. We are facing the challenges of not seeing each other face-to-face but have adapted quickly. We now interact effectively to maintain high standards for our work.” Sample of companies currently represented in the iMBA program: ABB Inc. CSX Transportation Marriott International Accenture Cummins, Inc. Marshall Miller & Associates Acu-Rite, Inc. Dataware, Inc.
