MBA+ a program of leadership and innovation

The MBA+ is a two year full time and 2 1/2 year part-time program that recognizes the value of technical skill mastery and leadership competence in tomorrow's business leaders. Unlike any other MBA program, the MBA+ places dual emphasis on the hard and soft skills of successful business management, and integrates the two skill sets in its core curriculum. And it does so within the context of managing for innovation and change, values inherent in the Northwest economy.
