An MBA Abroad for Students from India

Secure an MBA degree in the United States. Pursue your dreams with Willamette's MBA program and flexible financing solutions.

Pursuing an MBA in the USA

For many international students, studying business in America is a goal. They dream of studying at Stanford University, Harvard Business School, and other universities. It can be challenging to find the right experience to pursue. By exploring rankings and accreditations, scholarship options, and learning experience opportunities, students can narrow their options.

Willamette is one of the best MBA colleges in the USA. We offer a unique full-time MBA program that opens the doors to a variety of opportunities. Students who join our top business school benefit from a variety of aspects at Willamette.
  • Gain work experience
    At Willamette, we know how important it is to gain practical experience. Whether you have an interest in angel investing or you're interested in an internship, we can help. We're a university that focuses on hands-on learning opportunities.

    We'll help students look for internships that will advance their careers through our career management service. Students can utilize university connections, faculty relationships, other alumni, and multiple campuses to find the right internship.

    Our students have secured internships at top companies like Boeing, Deloitte, Intel, Garmin, Daimler Trucks North America, and Nike. We encourage students to pursue at least one semester of internship credit. Many students choose up to three semesters of internship credits.

    Willamette also offers practical education through our MBA courses. All first-year students gain exposure to real-life clients through our flagship PACE program. Through our courses, students can gain experience in angel investing, social impact investing, and portfolio management.
  • Location

    Willamette offers two MBA campuses within the Pacific Northwest; one in Salem and one in Portland, Oregon. This provides a unique opportunity to build a network in two different cities.

    Students from India, as well as all of our full-time MBA students, study at our Salem campus. Students can attend events and network with our Portland campus.

    During downtime, students can enjoy all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. From stunning waterfalls and rolling mountains to rocky coastlines and green forests, every moment is a picture. Oregon is a beautiful state along the west coast, nestled between California and Washington.

    Oregon has a reputation for great food, friendly people, and outdoor opportunities. Whether you're interested in visiting a coffee shop or hiking along a river, you'll have plenty of opportunities. Our Salem campus is conveniently located in downtown Salem, forty-five minutes to Portland and an hour's drive to the Pacific Ocean. Make the most of your MBA abroad experience and visit Oregon.
