Experience Built In
A Willamette, hands-on learning is part of your education from the start. Through research, internships, study abroad, and community-based projects, you’ll apply what you learn in meaningful ways early and often.
From Learning to Doing
Connecting big ideas to real outcomes is what Willamette does best. Students conduct research with faculty, work with local organizations, study across the globe, and build the kind of experience that changes what comes next. Just ask Marni Aosved '24 and Melissa Duncan '24, who helped advance cancer research and then took home a top research award at the Oregon Bioengineering Symposium.
The MBA Designed for Working Life
Willamette’s redesigned MBA for Professionals is built for people with full calendars and big ambitions. Ours is an integrated, project-based MBA you can apply to your work right now, with a hybrid schedule and more affordable tuition that keeps ROI front and center.
The Kind of MBA That Shows Up at Work
Mike Mattson MBA’18 spotted a major talent gap at his employer and turned his MBA capstone into an apprenticeship program to help find a solution. By graduation, his salary doubled. Three years later, it doubled again. Just as important, he found the confidence to show up fully in his work.
“There's so much value you can get from an MBA in ways that you could probably never imagine until you've gone through it. You get experience and learn to connect the dots across your classes.”
