Do faculty have real world experience?
The majority of our MBA faculty do consulting projects for large and small companies, non-profit ventures, and government agencies in the Pacific Northwest and around the world. Some of our faculty previously worked in major corporations or top consulting firms, and many have owned (or continue to own) their own businesses. However, you will also discover that some of the best business research work in the world, work that transformed businesses and industries, has been done by University of Washington faculty. At the Foster School of Business you will have access to world class researchers developing new ways of thinking and new business solutions few others have seen. It is the intermingling of both cutting-edge research and people experienced in applications that makes an MBA from one of the top research universities in the world so valuable.
