University Park Faculty, University Park Degree – The Smeal Executive MBA

Friday, August 1st, 2008

One question that I get quite often with people is “what does my diploma have on it when I graduate?”  The answer for us is simple – Masters in Business Administration from The Pennsylvania State University, Smeal College of Business.  With the Smeal EMBA the “E” refers to our delivery format, not our degree.  With Smeal you get Smeal’s University Park faculty  – a faculty recognized as top 20 in the world, and top 10 in the United States.  With Smeal you get Penn State’s University Park degree – a degree that is ranked and recognized as a top MBA by every major MBA ranking publication.  If you are looking to earn a degree that is ranked, recognized and respected, the Smeal EMBA offers you one – in suburban Philadelphia, on weekends.  Visit our website at www.smealemba.com to learn more. 

Penn State, Smeal EMBA – Networking and Graduation

Monday, June 16th, 2008

What a great week!  Tuesday we had an alumni networking event hosted by KPMG at their world headquarters in Manhattan, and Friday we had an event at the Ace Center, a few miles outside of Philadelphia.  On Saturday the members of the Smeal EMBA class of 2008 celebrated their completion of their MBA’s with friends, family and faculty in State College.  At each of the networking events we had more than 50 attendees – from multiple years and multiple disciplines.  At the celebration we had more than 400 attendees to support the graduating class of 50 students.  Joe Paterno spoke briefly, congratulating the graduates and welcoming their families.  Connections to the past and the future were “happening” everywhere and I, while tired from traveling and attending all the events, was proud once again to be a Penn Stater!
