Men and women embarking on business careers have the opportunity to influence many of the social, political, and economic forces in today's world. The Foster School prepares students for professional careers in management and related disciplines in both the private and public sectors.
The Foster School offers an undergraduate program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (BABA) and graduate programs leading to the degrees of Master of Business Administration (MBA), Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA), Technology Management Master of Business Administration (TMMBA), Master of Professional Accounting (MPAcc), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). An evening MBA program is also offered. Additionally, the Foster School offers a Master of Science degree in Information Systems (MSIS) and a Global Executive Master of Business Adminstration (GEMBA).
Business Administration became an independent unit within the University system in 1917. It has been accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (now known as the International Association for Management Education) since 1921.
Facilities and Services
Most Foster School classes and activities are in four buildings. Dempsey Hall, named for Neal and Jan Dempsey, contains the dean's office, MBA and undergraduate offices, the Arthur W. Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship, MBA and undergraduate career centers as well as classrooms and an executive forum. PACCAR Hall offers a combination of U-shaped tiered classrooms, meeting spaces, a 250-seat auditorium, student breakout rooms, faculty offices, and a soaring atrium with a café and a boardroom. It is equipped with a wide range of technology enhancements including web-linked digital monitors and distance conferencing capabilities. Mackenzie Hall, named in memory of Professor Donald Mackenzie, Chair of the Department of Accounting from 1949 to 1955, contains the offices of the Foster School's Consulting and Business Development Center, the Global Business Center, the Center for Leadership and Strategic Thinking, and the Foster School Advancement and Alumni teams. A fourth building, on the northwest side of Dempsey, has three distinct components: the Bank of America Executive Education Center (which includes the James B. Douglas Executive Forum), the Boeing Auditorium, and the Albert O. and Evelyn Foster Business Library.
To serve the continuing education needs of middle- and senior-level managers, the Foster School offers a number of certificate programs, either University-initiated or co-sponsored with various community and industry organizations. The Executive Development Program, a nine-month, one night per week program, strengthens understanding and skills in all areas of management and provides an opportunity for successful managers to learn from a distinguished faculty and each other. Short courses and seminars are offered throughout the year, focusing on topics such as leadership, finance and accounting for non-financial executives, and negotiation skills. In addition, the School develops and runs custom programs under contract with individual companies and organizations. Information on continuing education programs may be obtained from the Office of Executive Education, (206) 543-8560, fax (206) 685-9236, execed@uw.edu.
International Business Programs
International business programs are coordinated and developed by the Foster School's Global Business Center. These activities include special graduate and undergraduate certificate programs, the Global Business Program, seminars, internships, business foreign-language programs, special guest-speaker programs, and study tours. Although the Marketing and International Business Department offers a general curriculum in international business, each of the five academic departments within the Foster School maintains faculty with special international teaching and research expertise. Internationally oriented courses are offered by each department.
At the undergraduate level, the Foster School offers the Certificate of International Studies in Business (CISB) program. Students in the program complete the same demanding business curriculum as other students and enhance this training with foreign language study, area studies, and an international experience. The program requires that students have a solid foundation in one of five language tracks: Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish; a sixth custom track for other languages is also an option. In addition, there is a U.S. track for international students.
At the MBA level, the Foster School offers opportunities for MBA students to build on the international business foundation that every MBA develops through the first year of the program. In addition to international business electives, the program offers overseas travel through study tours, quarter-long exchange programs, and international internships. MBA students may also participate in the weekly Global Business Forum, which brings top international business leaders to campus to discuss important issues facing their companies and industries.
