Business with a bigger purpose
At Seattle Pacific University’s School of Business, Government, and Economics (SBGE), you’ll get more than just a top-tier education; you’ll learn how to use business to serve others and make a real impact. Thanks to its AACSB accreditation—a distinction held by less than 5% of business schools worldwide—you can be confident you're getting a high-quality, globally recognized degree.
Academics: Your major, your mission
SPU lets you dive deep into what interests you most. You can major in Accounting (perfect for launching a CPA career), Economics, or Business Administration. The Business Administration major is especially flexible, with nine different concentrations, including options like Finance, International Business, and Management. No matter which path you choose, the program is built on a strong foundation of Christian faith and ethics, preparing you to be a leader with integrity.
Student life: All about access
Here's the best part: location, location, location! SPU is just minutes from downtown Seattle, putting you in the backyard of global giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and Starbucks. This incredible access isn’t just for fun; it’s built right into your education. All Business Administration majors complete a required internship, giving you real-world experience (and connections!) before you even graduate. On campus, you can join clubs like Beta Gamma Sigma, the premier business honor society, to network with other high-achieving students.
Get experience from day one
SPU’s Burton and Ralene Walls Center for Applied Learning (CAL) is your launch pad for a great career. It’s not just about classwork; CAL connects you with the real world. You can get paired with a professional mentor from the Seattle business community, compete in the Social Venture Plan Competition to pitch your big idea, or join the Innovation Lab. It’s all about giving you hands-on experience and a professional network before graduation.
