WWU launches new M.B.A. program

The School of Business plans to offer a new online, flexible master of business administration program with the first cohort beginning in January of 2025. Developed through careful planning and market research, the program will provide a quality, project-based M.B.A. option that can be completed in as little as one year, and students may enroll in the program in any quarter.

According to Stephen Pilgrim, dean of the School of Business, we are actively recruiting instructors with specialized training and demonstrated success in their careers. “Investing in an M.B.A. can be a life-changing decision in one’s professional journey,” he says.

The School of Business is currently the largest program on the WWU campus. Its undergraduate accreditation requires stringent, documented performance in teaching excellence and program quality as well as positive student learning and career outcomes. On average, its undergraduates score in the 92nd percentile on the Education Testing Service’s Major Field Test, which covers all core areas of business. They also enjoy a 97% placement rate in their chosen careers or through acceptance into graduate schools within 12 months of graduating.

“We look forward to applying that same level of excellence in helping our M.B.A. students achieve similar outcomes,” Pilgrim says.
