Lots of people are beginning to talk about how MBA programs need to generate more team-oriented, emotionally intelligent MBAs. While everyone else is talking about it, the UW is actually doing it. If you're looking for a place to not only gain a good education, but also the skills to become a trusted, ethical and good leader the University of Washington is the place. --Marketing

The UW MBA is great for people who want to learn about business, but do not plan to follow a traditional MBA path, such as consulting or investment banking. The UW MBA is a great environment due to its diversity, personal touch from a small program, and location in a very innovative city. Furthermore, the program is a great value. I felt that my education was at least equivalent to those who attend top tier progrms.--Marketing

The UW MBA offers a very unique experience. I would recommend it to certain friends and colleagues that I feel "fit the mold". It is definitely not for everyone. The type of people that I would recommend are those that are real go-getters, want to be involved, have a lot of energy, and truly understand why they are doing what they are doing. The UW MBA program is very special to me, and I want to see it continue to grow, improve, and excel in everything that it does.--Marketing

High quality program in terms of quality of teaching and quality of other students. Great class discussions where vast majority of students actively participate. Teachers really care that you understand and learn.--Operations

I did not think that the MBA provides the same value to all students. It helps with building a network and for rounding out a business education, but many people could do fine without it. The UW program is unique in its size, community, and culture. It is not for everyone.--Consulting

s

UW is truly unique in its ability to combine world-class academics with a caring, passionate student body that is as diverse in its interests and backgrounds as the world around it. Teamwork is emphasized, and it's not driven from the top - the students believe in it, and will go out of their way to help each other. --Marketing

The University of Washington offers an unparalleled opportunity for anyone wanting to live in Seattle and get involved with either major technology powerhouses or small tech start-ups. The access to local VC's and entrepreneurs cannot be replicated by any other method. --Entrepreneurship

The differentiating factor of the UW MBA Program is the amazing degree of support and collegiality that exists between the students. I received help from my classmates on schoolwork and even job interviews. One of my classmates interviewed for a job and within two hours had called me and told me what to expect as well as helped me prep for my interview the following day with the same recruiter. - Finance

The students are extremely involved and make a conscious effort to leave some sort of legacy. - Investment Banking
