Language Assisted MBA Program

City University of Seattle offers the only accredited MBA program in Canada and the United States in a language-assisted format, specifically tailored to non-native English speakers. City University of Seattle's Assisted Masters in Business Administration (AMBA) program offers students two educations at once: a business education taught by top business professionals and an English education that is focused on your academic and professional needs.

AMBA Program Structure
In the AMBA program, you will be assigned a language specialist for each MBA course that you take. You and your colleagues will spend two hours with your language specialist every day your MBA class meets. In this section we will work to ensure that you improve your English skills and complete your academic course successfully.

AMBA Program Benefits
City University of Seattle's MBA faculty and language specialists hold Master degrees and have extensive practical experience in their discipline. Your language specialists will clarify questions regarding your MBA courses, focus on your individual language challenges, and help you pick up a new set of skills related to doing business in English. Working with your language specialist, you will learn how to:
