The Robinson College of Business now offers its Professional MBA (PMBA) program in Henry County.

Since August 2006, Robinson has begun offering the PMBA program at a new leased classroom facility located at 125 Westridge Industrial Boulevard in McDonough (I-75 South, Exit 218).

According to Dean H. Fenwick Huss, "The move to Henry County is in keeping with the College's desire to make working toward advanced degrees as convenient as possible. With the tremendous growth in Henry County we felt the area was the next logical location for us to expand." Robinson also offers graduate classes in Alpharetta and Brookhaven.

The PMBA, designed for high potential performers with three or more years of business experience, is one of four MBAs offered by the Robinson College.

According to Huss, "The PMBA fills a real niche for students who are early in their careers. They benefit from the curriculum, but also learn from other students who have the same or similar amounts of business experience."

The program in Henry County is taught by the same stellar faculty who have made the Flex MBA one of the nation's top ten programs for the past 10 consecutive years according to U.S. News and World Report. The Flex MBA ranks with programs at a select group of schools including New York University, the University of Chicago, Kellogg at Northwestern,  UCLA,  and Berkeley. The College's Executive MBA program also ranks among the best in the world according to Financial Times.

The Robinson College has an enrollment of approximately 7,000 students, with about 5,100 of them undergraduates. Robinson also has more than 55,000 alumni, making it one of the largest business school alumni networks anywhere in the world.
