MBASA (pronounced “em-BAH-suh!”) stands for Master of Business Administration Spouse Association. But it goes deeper than just a funny acronym, MBASA stands as a strong support system for our members and provides opportunities for service, friendship, leadership, and learning for all its members.
If your husband or wife is enrolled in BYU’s full-time MBA program, you are automatically a member of MBASA! We have men and women, international spouses, spouses who work, spouses who are students, spouses who stay at home, spouses with children, spouses expecting children, and spouses without children. The various interests, talents, and experiences of MBASA members help to provide unique opportunities to connect.

MBASA Committees & Activities

There is incredible talent within MBASA; most classes are taught and led by members themselves. Joining a committee and attending activities is a great way to make friends and have time developing and investing in yourself while your spouse is doing the same in the MBA program.
