The Saint Mary's MBA
THE SAINT MARY'S MBA — FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN. EARNED BY TRADITION.
The Saint Mary's MBA is for professionals who pursue momentum instead of waiting for it. AACSB accredited, STEM designated, and built around small classes with faculty who know you by name, this is a program with real weight behind it. Set your own pace, choose your concentration, and finish in as few as 12 months without putting your career on hold to do it.
Saint Mary's has spent over 150 years asking what it means to educate the whole person. That question shapes everything about the MBA, from how faculty engage with students to how the program defines success. Small classes, accessible professors, and a values-driven approach to business aren't perks. They're the point.

Tales from Gaels
Creative Roots, Executive Ambition
“The work ethic that I developed in all of those years of opera, the driving five hours, the self-accountability I developed really just allows me to take that and run with it, with anything that I do. In the Saint Mary's MBA program it allows me to have the confidence to do things as minor as asking questions in class, and as major as stepping out of my comfort zone and talking with up-and-coming firms. I’ve really been able to find my voice here, and the professors create such a safe and open environment that you’re encouraged to bring your authentic self to every discussion.”
