SCHOOL COMMENTS

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
