Albers School of Business and Economics

The first business degrees were granted by Seattle College in 1937 and in 1947 the School of Commerce and Finance was established. The undergraduate degree program was accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in 1965. The MBA program began in 1967 and, one year later, the name of the school was changed to the School of Business.

For over 70 years, Albers has championed the responsibility of business to create a better society. Students are taught to be leaders who are committed to making a difference above and beyond the bottom line.

An Albers education extends beyond the classroom, connecting you with opportunities to learn from the knowledge and guidance of real business leaders. Our experience-based programs allow you to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom to real-world situations. This hands-on experience gives you a distinct advantage when you begin making decisions in the workplace and advancing your career.
