Next Graduate Open House: Tuesday, December 1st.  RSVP to attend.

The M.B.A. program at Seattle Pacific University is a general management degree that provides students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in today's complex and changing business environment. The M.B.A. program enhances the past academic work and professional experience of students, preparing them for higher levels of responsibility. It is intended primarily for the working professional who has achieved a meaningful level of career success following the baccalaureate degree. He or she now recognizes the need to develop and expand knowledge and expertise in the management area to become more effective in current responsibilities or to open opportunities for new responsibilities.

Seattle Pacific's School of Business and Economics is committed to providing an applied, experiential and collaborative learning environment in which business and Christian faith, ethics, and character are integrated. The objectives of the program are to develop students' abilities to do the following:

• Provide values-based leadership from a general-management perspective.
• Think and act strategically under conditions of rapid change and uncertainty.
• Effectively manage organizations through developing people and integrating business processes with information technology.
• Apply in-depth knowledge in one of the following areas: management of business processes, human resources management, finance, or information systems management. SPU's MBA now offers two new specialization areas - Technology Management and International Business.
• Communicate effectively, work in teams, use information technology, and self-assess personal abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

TESTIMONIALS

"Previously, I had worked with some SPU professors who were consulting in our office.  Even though I would be an older student, they encouraged me to get my MBA.  I had not planned to do this, but with great support from the SPU faculty and staff, my classmates, and my family, I am now the proud holder of an MBA which enables me to open doors I did not know existed.

"Getting my MBA at SPU was the best thing that I could have done for myself both personally and professionally.  Not only were my ethics and personal values strengthened, I also grew in my professional life because of the knowledge I gained from some of the best business professors in the country.

"I wanted smaller class sizes with teachers that were passionate about what they were teaching.  I also wanted to be part of a community, and make not only contacts but friends as well.  SPU delivered on all accounts.  The MBA program has done a great job of not only teaching what it means to be a manager, but what it means to be a leader.  I believe that distinction is crucial when teaching and developing business professionals.  It also goes without saying that SPU has done an exemplary job of teaching ethics.
