A Global Student Body
The University of Pittsburgh is home to more than 2,900 international students—more than one half of whom are pursuing a graduate degree. At Katz, we value the experience, perspective, and diversity of thinking that you, as an international student, bring to our program.
Our class profile changes every year. Core countries represented in the classroom have included Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United States, to name just a few.
We also have an incoming exchange programs through our partner schools, including:
- University of Augsburg
- Kedge Business School
- WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management
With a degree from Pitt Business, you will be confident in your ability to tackle whatever business problems you come up against. You’ll be more valuable to future employers, or perhaps you’ll put your finely honed talents to work in starting your own business.
Collaboration
From the beginning, you’ll notice a spirit of collaboration at Katz. Past students have commented that the atmosphere isn’t as competitive as it is collaborative. It comes from the school’s commitment to globalism and diversity. From your very first team project, you’ll recognize the benefits of a truly global business school because you’ll be working in an environment that reflects the markets of the world.
Transformative Integrated Learning
Emphasizing interdisciplinary hands-on experience, our MBA programs take an experience-based teaching approach to help you develop marketable skills such as presentation, research, teamwork, and decision making. During the program of study, you have ample opportunities to apply the theories learned in the classroom to hands-on projects through case competitions, consulting field projects, and management capstone.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
“During the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, Katz staff gave us mooncakes. It felt really heartwarming since it’s an important part of my culture. They also celebrate festivals from other countries. Katz creates an inclusive and equitable environment because everyone, no matter where they come from, is loved and valued.”
“I received a scholarship and it has been life-changing for me. Without it, undertaking my career pivot would have been impossible, but now I can explore new fields I am interested in and apply myself to good causes.”
