MBA
Master of Business Administration

The largest nationally accredited, evening program for working professionals
in the Pacific Northwest

Our MBA students bring a wealth of professional and academic perspectives to the classroom, from engineering to financial management to health care.  Add to that the cultural and ethnic diversity of students from over 25 countries, and the MBA experience at Seattle University promises a special opportunity for personal and professional growth.

Companies want employees with the knowledge and abilities to successfully lead their organization into the 21st century - employees who can think analytically, communicate effectively, take advantage of technology and understand both the big picture and the details that lead to the bottom line.

The MBA at the Albers School of Business & Economics at Seattle University provides you with that competitive edge.  Our internationally-accredited program is for working professionals who have diverse experience, academic backgrounds and interests, and who return to school to develop and sharpen their business & leadership skills.

Electives Offered

Time to Complete

Part-time students taking two courses per quarter can complete the program in 2 to 3 years.

Full-time students taking 4 courses per quarter can complete the program in 1 and 1/2 to 2 years.  

Students who have had an equivalent course with a grade of "B" (3.0) or better, may be eligible to waive up to six fundamental business classes. Students with an undergraduate degree in business from an AACSB accredited university are also eligible to waive two electives, thus shortening their degree requirement.
