9 Best Mba Programs In Seattle, WA (2022 Updated)

The health center is the most unprofessional medical staff I've ever encountered. They cancelled an appointment I made several weeks in advance on the day of. When I tried to reschedule, they couldn't get me in until the following month because priority goes to "yeast infections and things like that." I asked if I could have someone else's appointment in the event they cancel, at which point the woman on the phone got audibly irritated, like this was an extravagant and far-fetched request, and the call ended. Fast forward and I'm getting a call back from an upset nurse practitioner for the sole purpose of squabbling with me over the previous phone call and who had no intention of getting me an exam. Completely asinine behavior from someone who is supposed to be a health care professional.Ben Fitzger

I'm getting my masters are there in Computer Science. While it is not as intense as I would have expected it to be, it is definitely a great second choice to UW if you are looking for in person classes and are interested in pursuing a PHD. It is worth noting that the UW Professional Master's in Computer Science will not help you get a PHD. The lack of a project or research will block you from PHD programs.Soren Ludwig

I live only 3 blocks from here and it's got rare plants so I like that since I need a cane to go places. Too bad a Street goes through campus so they got a skybridge that goes to third floor so you have to use steps or elevators on both ends. Otherwise so nice campus.Update: New campus store now moved to 12th and Madison Street. Actually off campus. I miss old one but it is more junk there.Victor K. Panda

I got my MBA from this school and it was great! I took both in class and online courses to fit my schedule. It was a tough program, but which one isn't. I can't understand why someone would bash the place, if it's a joke, why didn't this person graduate? Anyway, the school is opening a new downtown Seattle campus which will complement its many international sites and opportunities. It's a young university founded in 1973 so it does not yet have to "tradition" of the more established/older local universities but is still very good. City U is one of just a handful of schools around the globe that is accredited by the Project Management Institute (PMI) on top of regional accreditation. I'm very happy I went here. I was able to take an exec ed program at Harvard a few years later, so if Harvard doesn't have a problem with City U, why should some anonymous user?James Thomas

Save your money and find somewhere else to take classes. My first class wasn't awful but second class is a bloody disaster. I'm transferring out ASAP. I've had to complain and complain and email and email more than I should ever have to get the right information, it's been a complete disaster. I cannot believe that I paid over $2,000 for this crap excuse for a class. I could have done just as much good learning on my own by reading the book and doing all of the quizzes in the book.Savanna Kraft

The City University of Seattle never answered my questions regarding graduate admissions and disability services. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get any answers as a prospective graduate applicant. The City University of Seattle is unprofessional. What a waste of my time!Jon L.

Albers School of Business did a great job preparing me for my professional career. Having transferred from a larger school, the small class sizes and personal attention from each teacher(not T.A.'s) lends itself to an invaluable experience. I would highly recommend anyone interested in obtaining a business degree to look into Seattle University.Reilly McHugh

Quality faculty, and great students. Seattle U does a great job of educating the whole person, and I felt like their program gave me the knowledge and experience needed to succeed in the business world.Douglas Buser

I graduated from Albers in 2010 and had a great experience there. I developed relationships with professors and my peers that I still have today! I'd recommend it to anyoneIan Walsh

This is the home of University of Washington Technology Management MBA. This program is the best investment for your MBA money period.Richard Sanchez

Seattle Pacific University seems to have changed little since I last attended graduation three years ago at. At that time, SPU chose a black woman from out of state to lecture the graduates on becoming more inclusive and to share their white privilege in the form of money, especially for people of color. She went on to remind them that God loves them all because “she” is a god of love no matter what color you are. This year, SPU again chose a black woman to be the commencement speaker. She was also from out of state, but is on their board of trustees. She has a long list of organizations she has been on primarily with getting money to minorities so they can go to school and succeed. Instead of lecturing the graduates this time, she opened with a quote of a prayer that referenced Ruth in the Bible. She revealed that the author was agnostic, but it exemplified her feelings so well she wanted to share it verbatim. The speaker promised to return to the Ruth reference later. She never did. But she did quote a verse from Colossians to close her 16 minute talk. I am confident a few folks observed the content was strung together from numerous sources connected only by her copy/paste technique. I hope she wasn’t paid for her pre-collegiate attempt at speaking. Naturally, everyone clapped and the dissemination of the diplomas commenced accompanied by loud horns, screaming of names, and whooping as different names were announced. Many graduates walked with such a brazen proud gait, you’d think they were a mere 8 year old precocious child showing off their new shoes. Most acted dignified though at near fifteen a stretch before another “star was born.” I find it odd that in today’s culture where “appropriate” crowd and collegiate behavior is often observed forgotten or unknown that neither the students were “educated” on how the solemnness and significance can be vanquished in one attention-getting act. Additionally, no leader even informed those attending at the onset any expectations of their behavior. It is as if those in charge have become fearful of telling anyone what is acceptable behavior or not. This was further shown as numerous outwardly gay and crossdressing and possibly transgender graduates pranced across the stage. One boy, in heels, black lipstick, and rainbow flag was cheered by his peers and warmly congratulated by staff that should have known better than let it get so far that his success in the world will likely be severely hampered by his delusion, not to mention his spiritual growth or presence apparently ignored by the traditionally Bible believing school. At a party afterwards, I got to speak with a graduate who expressed her carefulness at school to use the right pronouns with her friends who would be male or female or neither from day to day. Her professor in her Sociology of Gender class at SPU stated he hated those parties where they announced the sex of the baby. He felt it was shortsighted for the parents and the child who hadn’t had a chance to figure out what it wanted to be. I admit I have become more judgmental and am still appalled at my own lack of research into SPU when I sent my daughter to this “Christian” school. I am not tolerant of everything. It doesn’t mean I hate people. But I hate it when people profess toleration if I agree with them, but spew hateful comments at me if I do not. Worshiping at the idol of tolerance and its consequences should be exposed in a collegiate setting, not celebrated.Scott Rees

I have had a really bad experience here. Most students are the spoiled, sheltered, preppy type. Majority that I have encountered are very cliquey, immature, fake, and just plain unfriendly. I find it quite ironic, because the school often claims that they have such a great community. The facilities aren't anything special; seem low budget and just provide the bare minimum. The sports and clubs here are nothing compared to most universities. I don't ever eat on campus but only hear bad things about the food. Some professors are good, some are bad, just like any other university. However, course offerings are very limited, so you can't really pick and choose who to take. I just don't see any justification on how this place can be worth the 40k/yr tuition. I wish I had done more research prior to attending or transferred when I had the chance. I think there are many better options out there.Joe McMullin

From the perspective of a Christian, this is an amazing University. For the most part, the professors are some of the best and brightest, and one can definitely expect a world class education here, however there are some downfalls. The university requires 3 classes on the Christian faith, but in reality the majority of their "common curriculum" is incredibly Christianity centered, which could be an uncomfortable problem for non Christians. The second downfall is the price. It's a private university, tuition is crazy expensive, and room and board will land you a good 4 grand a quarter if you factor in having to pay for laundry and having to pay for orca cards. Not much is given away for free here, so make sure to have a steady job before coming. Despite the negatives, the education quality is great, but if you choose to attend, be prepared for debt.James Kienle

The University of Washington is home to some of the greatest views, amazing schools and one of the finest business schools in America. The Michael G. Foster School of Business provides world-class education, mentorship and career placement for the very top students. PLEASE GIVE ME A 👍🏻 IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFULTerry Dell

I sat in for their evening MBA program. It was great. The price tag is high but I enjoyed my undergrad at UW. If I were to go back to school it would be at UW again or UBC. Their events and networking events are great if you want to visit before deciding your program.Helen Ell Tran

Claims to care about equity and access for all students but refuses to provide access to bathrooms to trans students. The administration insists that sending students 2 buildings over to use the bathroom is completely reasonable.Virtue Woods

Every staff member I came in contact with were professional and the surgeons were exceptional as well as kind and compassionate. My husband’s surgery went well and I am happy with the results.Angela Jefferson
