Again, I am a student assistant for Graduate Business Programs (SEE MSBA Thread).

The Professional Master of Business Administration (PMBA) is funded and run through the college of extended university, and is held at various locations throughout Southern California. Currently there are locations in:
Palmdale
El Segundo
Irwindale
China Lake
Alhambra
and a few others.

The program works with employers to hold classes for their employees in their facilities, example, Irwindale classes are held at the Edison location there. The PMBA program is quite a bit more expensive than the on-campus MBA program (think difference between on-campus and open university fees) but the benefits include the classes basically coming to you, the same professors as the on-campus, the same cirriculum, plus all paperwork (petitions, contracts, etc.) are handled by the department on your behalf. This means not having to come all the way in to campus when you live in Alhambra, just to turn in a petition, or a grad check.

For more information, check out the PMBA's website:
http://www.pmba.csupomona.edu/

From there you can request an information packet, and the class registration is all online. The requirements for admission are the same across the board for MBA/PMBA/MSBA:

3.0 GPA (last 90 units of instruction)
450 GMAT
580 (Computer Based) TOEFL (If International Studnet)
2 Years of Managerial/Supervisor Experience (Oversee 2 or more employees)

The one extra advantage in these economic times is that the PMBA is completely privatly funded, so they will not be "closed" to admissions when the on-campus programs are deemed so (such was the case this winter and spring for admissions), and are not subject to any "zero growth" requirements.
