If you're a busy professional, your work week is probably hectic, with business travel, office projects and family commitments taking center stage. The Saturday MBA is designed for part-time students who want to focus on their careers during the week and earn a rigorous and relevant MBA on weekends — and still have time for a balanced life.

The Saturday MBA at Marylhurst is an annual cohort program that begins in late September. Program highlights:

• Two Saturday courses on campus each term (three-hour morning and afternoon sessions, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
• Compressed quarter system (eight to 10 weeks) with an integrated Web component
• Structured 16-course curriculum
• Focus on ethical leadership and managerial decision making
• Small, seminar-style classes
