Willamette MBA helped me accelerate my learning with the program’s hands-on learning and real-world case studies. During my first year, I worked as a consultant for a real non-profit organization through Practical Applications for Careers and Enterprises, which is only available at Willamette MBA. The school helped me with my CPT visa to be able to do internships while in school and the OPT visa to work in the U.S. after graduation.

I was looking for a school with an excellent standing in the PNW and a rich legacy that can help me stand out. Willamette fulfilled both criteria and has produced excellent graduates. Willamette’s great location, midway between Seattle and San Francisco, and great weather helped me to seal the deal.
