Welcome to the Michael G. Foster School of Business. Whether you're starting your education as an undergraduate, seeking an MBA or other graduate degree, or honing your competitive edge as a business professional, we offer a program that will contribute to your future success.

Our undergraduate program has been rated among the nation's top 25 by U.S. News & World Report for more than a decade, and our MBA program is currently ranked 29. Moreover, a recent survey by the Educational Benchmarking Institute of 52 prominent business schools ranked our MBA program 4th in overall student satisfaction, 3rd in fulfilling expectations, and 2nd in the quality of faculty in core courses.

In all our programs, we are committed to delivering a transformational learning experience. We are continually revising our curriculum to make it more relevant to the real world of business and the challenge of managing in a global economy driven by technological change. With our many corporate partners in the Seattle area—a region known for its entrepreneurial spirit and leading companies like Microsoft, Starbucks, Boeing, Nordstrom, Costco and Amazon.com—we can offer our students exceptional opportunities to learn from many of the world's most successful companies.

Plans are also underway to build new world class facilities, with construction to start in 2008. Above all, we are committed to helping every student achieve his or her full potential in a supportive, collegial environment marked by rich interactions with faculty, fellow students and the business community.
