Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business has created a Performance-Based Admissions (PBA) pathway for our renowned Online MBA program. With the OMBA program's PBA pathway, you can skip the application process and use your performance on two initial courses to secure your place in the Online MBA program. Successfully finish two pathway courses within the OMBA curriculum with a grade of B or higher and provide evidence of your bachelor's degree before completing these two courses, and you'll be eligible to enroll in the next available OMBA term.

  • Go Beyond the Lecture

    Our weekly live faculty connect sessions allow you to have real-time discussions with faculty and receive personalized feedback as you interact with other students, build your professional network, and engage with your coursework in a more meaningful way. You will also have opportunities to hear from top industry experts and participate in industry roundtables, as well as attend live office hours for one-on-one interaction with faculty.

  • Customize Your Path to Success

    Build an OMBA that speaks to your passions, interests, and aspirations. Two-thirds of your curriculum can be tailored to your specific career goals with the ability to choose 10-13 courses from our vast array of elective offerings.
