The Early Career MBA is a one year, full-time, accelerated, cohort program designed specifically for young professionals who are in the early stages of their careers and who come from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds. Although some MBA programs will admit early career students, only a handful of programs are actually designed to support early career professionals or students looking to change the trajectory of their careers. The Early Career MBA through Seattle University's esteemed Albers School of Business and Economics provides you with the strong academic foundation of an MBA but also hands-on experiences and carefully crafted career guidance to help you propel your career forward.

WHY AN EARLY CAREER MBA AT SEATTLE UNIVERSITY?

Emily Barr, Bridge/Early Career MBA Alumna

I chose the Bridge (Early Career) MBA because as an undergraduate alumni of Seattle University, I wanted to continue learning in an atmosphere surrounded by leaders who employ the Seattle University mission statement: “[leaders]…dedicated to educating the whole person, to professional formation…for a just and humane world". This program was a perfect business fit to complement my undergraduate background in hard sciences!
