Talk with us before you apply
Admission to a Saint Mary's graduate business program is a personalized process that begins with a conversation. We welcome the opportunity to answer your questions and help you select the right graduate business program based on your education, professional experience, and career goals. Just send us a copy of your resume by email and request an appointment. We can talk by phone, or even better, we can meet on campus and arrange a class visit.
We understand the challenges of attending a graduate business program while working fulltime and raising a family. We can connect you with current students and alumni who will be glad to share their experiences and how they balanced work, home, and school.
