Classes meet once per week in person, once per week online, and three Saturdays each semester. The program is intentionally designed for you to bring real challenges from your organization into the classroom and leave with tools you can use immediately.

Willamette’s MBA for Professionals comes with lower tuition, along with scholarship and financial aid designed to keep the degree within reach. And because the program is built for immediate workplace application, you’re investing in momentum, skills, and confidence you can put to work right away.
