Once again, Willamette University's full-time MBA program has been named as a top business school in the U.S. by Bloomberg Businessweek.
Willamette MBA was ranked #1 in Oregon and #2 in the Pacific Northwest. The program was ranked 70th overall, four spots higher than last year, based on compensation data, quality of curriculum, strength of networks, entrepreneurship and diversity.
The program saw dramatic growth in key areas:
"We take the work of educating tomorrow's leaders very seriously, and this recognition is a testament to the dedication and passion of our entire community," said interim Dean and Associate Professor of Accounting Romana Autrey. "All of us - from our talented faculty to our hard-working staff, from our ambitious students to our innovative alumni - we're all in this together, championing Willamette's brand of hands-on experiential learning and meaningful impact."
The rankings drew on survey data from alumni, students and employers. For this year's list, Bloomberg spoke to graduates from the class of 2024, alumni from 2016-2018, and employers who recently hired Willamette graduates.
