We curate each PMBA cohort to include a broad range of industrial, organizational, operational, and cultural perspectives, as these individual differences enable a useful cross-pollination of ideas and rich class discussions. Ideal PMBA candidates nevertheless share the following:
Preferably in roles that have incrementally increased in responsibility over time
Crummer does not requrie candidates to have majored in business, and we routinely accept students from all areas of the academy
Our holistic admission approach considers “the whole candidate,” including each applicant’s motivation, leadership potential, professional goals, and readiness to contribute meaningfully to their cohort
Rollins College and Crummer are longstanding institutional pillars within our local Winter Park, FL, cultural fabric and business community. And our location just minutes from Orlando’s thriving business districts situates our MBA candidates within one of the country’s premier regions for employment opportunity and career growth.
Orlando received a rare “triple crown” for opportunity in 2025, when aggregate economic data revealed it to be #1 for employment, population, and GDP growth among the top 30 most populous metros in the nation (OEP, 2025).
Orlando is a global leader in the tourism, healthcare, technology, and aerospace sectors, and it also claims a vibrant local economy where entrepreneurs and startups not only find success — they thrive.
Forget the standard assignments you remember from school. PMBA faculty instead deliver opportunities for candidates to “learn by doing” as they solve for real-world organizational challenges, sharpen their decision-making skills and judgment capacities, and gain the ability to glean insight through uncertainty. During their time as PMBA candidates, students will experience:
Solving for real business & organizational challenges
With local and regional organizations such as Orlando Health, 4Roots, Give Kids the World and FairWinds Credit Union.
Experience international business firsthand through a required global learning component
Integrate insights from across the curriculum in a culminating applied project
Crummer faculty combine academic excellence with real-world expertise, bringing research, consulting experience, and practical insight into every classroom discussion.

The PMBA core curriculum provides a comprehensive foundation in all key areas of business management and develops critical thinking, analytical skills, leadership capability, and functional business leadership fluency through 41.5 credit hours of integrated coursework. The effectiveness of Crummer’s PMBA curriculum at constructively and demonstrably delivering these competencies to our students is implied in our accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) — a status of excellence that Crummer shares with an elite group of just six percent of business schools worldwide. PMBA students build strong operational and management foundations across four key functional areas:
Build the academic, quantitative, and professional tools needed to lead successful organizations.
Develop business fluency across leadership, finance, marketing, operations, analytics, economics, and strategy.
Customize your path through electives that align with your interests and career goals.
Integrate learnings from across the curriculum through a culminating, applied experience.
PMBA students may pursue an optional concentration by taking all three of their required electives within a specific content area in order to deepen their expertise and build specialized skills that align with their career goals and enhance their competitive edge in the marketplace.
Build quantitative tools, data visualization skill, and analytical frameworks that translate complex data into strategic insight.
Deepen your knowledge of corporate finance, investment analysis, financial markets, and decision-making in finance-focused roles.
Develop the skills to launch, grow, and scale ventures, from startups to innovation inside established organizations.

Analytical tools to interpret data and make evidence-based business decisions.
Understanding customer needs, positioning offerings, and driving market success.
