Build an MBA curriculum distinctly suited to your career goals with the right blend of courses, internship and project experience, international activities, research projects, and independent study.

Dynamic, relevant and realistic The UW MBA emphasizes strategic thinking and leadership: why knowledge is significant and how to apply learning to drive results. Here the questions you ask are just as important as the answers you craft…and the leadership skills you use to execute a complex business solution are just as vital as the strategy you develop. Interactive learning environments, collaborative team projects and hands-on work experiences allow you to apply your learning directly, use trial and error, and advance your knowledge with support from teammates, faculty and advisors.

Stimulating, challenging and strategic Open your mind to emerging ideas that may completely transform the future of business. You’ll have exposure to nascent theory and research taught by some of the most prolific scholars in the country. Drawing on their consulting experience as well as their relationships with business leaders, faculty members draw connections between research and practice, strategy and application, business practices and their ramifications on marketplaces and societies.

“I got a lot of big opportunities right out of school because of the big changes in China. The experiences made me very ambitious, but they also opened my eyes that I needed to know more if I'm going to be a really good strategic advisor to business leaders…I needed to know accounting, finance, other disciplines. It was time to get an MBA.”
