Pennsylvania and Beyond

Lebanon °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø College is a Pennsylvania institution in Annville, between Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Hershey, in a regional economy with strong healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and logistics sectors. If you live and work in central Pennsylvania, LVC’s MBA connects you to that market and to a local network of alumni working across the region.

Because the program is fully online, you do not have to be in Pennsylvania to enroll. You can earn the same ACBSP-accredited LVC MBA from anywhere in the country, on a schedule that fits your job.

My background has been primarily in sales, so the chance to learn alongside professionals from different parts of the business world was a major factor in choosing the program.
