With four distinct program options (traditional, accelerated, evening and weekend) the Western MBA provides flexibility, small class sizes, and a high degree of interaction with high quality faculty.  Western’s MBA program graduates have found jobs at global corporations including Amazon, Microsoft, MSNBC.com, United Airlines and Boeing.

Weekend MBA student Shannon Affholter, vice president of Business and Economic Development at Economic Alliance of Snohomish County and an Everett City Council member, said the flexibility of Western’s Weekend MBA @ Everett program makes it practical.

“The MBA program is helping me become an even stronger leader.  Because classes are every other weekend, I get to pursue my graduate degree and still maintain my busy professional and family life,” said Affholter.        

Reservations are not required, but are greatly appreciated. More information including directions, parking information and an online RSVP form can be found at .
