Why Willamette MBA:
“I chose Willamette’s Atkinson Graduate School of Management because of the alumni network and small class size. I really enjoy the connections I’ve made with my classmates and professors. The professors strive to build relationships with us, help us in any way possible to realize our professional goals, and teach us concepts and lessons needed to succeed not only in the classroom but in life.”
