Preferred Partnerships with Willamette MBA for Professionals

Exclusive Tuition Discount

As part of our Preferred Partnership program, employees of participating organizations are eligible for a $20,000 tuition discount in Willamette’s MBA for Professionals program. This discount is applied over six consecutive semesters, with $3,334 deducted per semester. Depending on your work experience and academic history, you may also qualify for additional scholarships. We encourage you to check with your HR department to explore any tuition reimbursement options that may further reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.

Note: for Intel employees, the discount totals $30,000, spread across six semesters at $5,000 per semester. Employees of nonprofit organizations and the State of Oregon receive a $24,000 discount, with $4,000 applied per semester.
