At Seattle University Albers School of Business, we believe business education can transform the course of your career but more importantly, transform you as a person, too. Designed exclusively for mid- to senior-level professionals, our programs help you develop your business acumen and enhance your personal competencies, values, and vision as a leader.
This seven-month program provides an in-depth personal exploration into leadership in which students develop insight, deep self-awareness, and humility—all hallmarks of leader luminaries—along with the confidence to influence and inspire others.
After earning the Executive Leadership Certificate, students move on to a rigorous 4-quarter core business curriculum. All our courses are delivered from the strategic perspective leaders need to drive cross-functional collaboration and innovation. You’ll develop your voice as a leader, gain valuable business skills, and learn what it means to lead a responsible organization – everything to help you become the kind of leader you admire and respect.

Delta Dental has put 12 executives through the Executive Leadership Program. Interestingly, graduates have independently described their participation using the words “life changing.” Indeed, there are noticeable changes in each graduate. They are more reflective, more participatory and more collaborative. The program is unique in that it captures the Jesuit traditions of discernment and service to others. These are healthy qualities for a corporation as well as personal well-being.
