RECRUITMENT: Willamette MBA Advantage

Willamette's MBA produces leaders who immediately add value to your organization. Our graduates are ready to "hit the ground running" because of our high academic standards; focus on real-world, hand's-on experience; and ability to integrate curriculum with today's global business requirements.

Team Experience Produces Leaders
Atkinson students work in teams to explore management issues, solve analytical problems, and develop and run their own business. Through this teamwork, our students master teamwork, leadership, communication, and decision-making skills.

Unique Hands-on Experiences
Atkinson's provides dynamic opportunities for students to partner with local and national organizations; for-profit, not-for-profit and government organizations; and large and small organizations through class consulting projects and the PaCE project. Over the last several years, students have analyzed complex business and government issues, created marketing strategies for multi-faceted communication projects, and developed and redesigned databases for international corporations. Corporate partners include such organizations as Tektronix, Adidas, Hewlett Packard Company, State of Oregon, T-Mobile and Toys R Us.

Emphasis on Diversity and a Global Economy
The Atkinson curriculum reflects a strong international focus that prepares our graduates for success in a rapidly changing global economy. Students gain vital business, cultural, social and political skills when they consult with global organizations.
