Our University and its Atkinson Graduate School of Management:

Willamette University is a top-ranked, private liberal arts university in Salem, Oregon, with additional programs offered in Portland Oregon. As the first university founded west of the Mississippi River, Willamette University has a long history of cultivating civic-minded leaders of business, government, and not-for-profit organizations. Its College of Arts and Sciences, College of Law, the recently-acquired Pacific Northwest College of Art, and the Atkinson Graduate School of Management, provide students and faculty with the opportunity to fuse theoretical insight with practical application in a distinctive, collaborative setting—namely, an integrated, liberal arts university.

Widely recognized for excellence in preparing managers to lead across sectors, the Atkinson Graduate School of Management (http://www.willamette.edu/mba) offers one of only two MBA degrees worldwide accredited by both the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA). The Atkinson Graduate School of Management is consistently ranked as the top MBA program in Oregon according to Bloomberg's Businessweek's “Best Business Schools.”

The Willamette MBA is offered in several full-time formats on the Salem campus and in an evening format, both in Salem and from our downtown Portland Center. Situated in the heart of the Willamette Valley and Oregon Wine Country, Salem is Oregon's capital city, boasting a mild climate and high quality of life. Our prime location adjacent to the Oregon State Capitol affords us ready access to the Oregon Coast, the Cascade Mountains, and a wide range of recreational opportunities. Salem's local attractions are complemented by those of nearby urban, cultural, and academic centers in Portland, Corvallis, and Eugene.
