Your path: Saturday MBA
Saturday MBA
For many busy professionals, the traditional work week can be a hectic time, when business travel, office projects and family commitments take center stage. The Saturday MBA is designed for part-time students who want to focus on their careers during the week and earn a high-quality Marylhurst MBA on weekends – and still leave time for a balanced life.
The Saturday MBA at Marylhurst University is an annual cohort program that begins late September. It's a collaborative, creative and high-tech learning environment that meets the needs of working adults. Marylhurst even provides the books, materials and coffee so students can focus on the learning, earning an accredited Marylhurst MBA in just two years.
