Connect to Thought Leaders in a Pioneering Global City
The UW occupies an important part of Seattle, a hub of technology, science, and innovation represented by our Civic Council. Council members, from Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, PATH, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and others, bring expertise and experiences to student talks, field trips, simulations, and group projects, networking opportunities and career advice.
21st Century Learning
How you learn today is as important as what we teach you. The “how” challenges your assumptions about the business landscape, career building, and how we engage in the globe’s affairs. We live in a dynamic time that requires “new” thinking to navigate an increasingly technology-driven world. The Executive MIS degree places human growth – personal, academic, and professional – at the center of what we do. This drive continues even after you graduate, for as many years as you need us.
