Why Albers Business School?

Teaching Excellence

You will take classes from great teachers. Most of our faculty publish their research, consult with companies and have earned the highest degree possible in their field. Most importantly, we hire people who are good at teaching and truly care about your understanding and your success. Our faculty make it a priority to meet with students before and after class and most are available for questions in their office and over email daily.

Flexibility

Several majors are offered in the day, late afternoon and evening format to accommodate working students.

Connect with Faculty and Students

Seattle University's first emphasis is to teach, which is best done in small groups. Our student to faculty ratio is 14:1, and you'll never attend a class with hundreds of students in a large lecture hall. Business classes are small, usually less than 30 students. Faculty members--not graduate or teaching assistants--teach classes. Professors know you personally and are available with help when you need it. You'll know your classmates, too, and be able to talk with them about new concepts and your own ideas.

It's a Jesuit School

Jesuit Schools have a well-deserved reputation for high quality education dedicated to developing the whole person. The Albers School classes push you to develop a questioning attitude toward learning and to think for yourself how your actions as a manager might affect others. In addition, several classes offer the chance to serve your community through volunteerism.
