Online MBA in Washington: what to know

Washington offers one of the widest selections of accredited online MBA programs in the country, 7 on our list, led by the nationally ranked University of Washington (Foster) Hybrid MBA, alongside Seattle University, Washington State, Eastern and Central Washington, plus private Gonzaga and Seattle Pacific. All 7 hold AACSB accreditation, the gold standard earned by a minority of business schools worldwide.

On cost, the range is very wide: the most affordable option on our list is Eastern Washington University (≈$18,040), with Central Washington (≈$19,693) also standing out as a value, while private and flagship programs run higher, up to about $96,000 for UW Foster's top-ranked Hybrid MBA. Tuition and fees change every year and in-state and out-of-state rates often differ, so confirm the current figure directly with the school before you budget.

Admissions are relatively accessible: every program here makes the GMAT optional or waivable, which removes a common barrier for working applicants. Available specializations include Marketing, Finance, International Business, and Supply Chain Management. Because the format is fully online, it suits professionals who want to keep working while they study rather than relocate to campus.

International applicants are generally welcome, check each school's TOEFL or IELTS requirements early. Treat the numbers on this page as a starting point for comparison, and verify accreditation, deadlines, and specialization availability on the university's official admissions pages before you apply.
