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 and career building that extend beyond your professional growth. We live in a dynamic time that requires “new” thinking to navigate a world increasingly dominated by technology. The Executive MIS degree places human growth – personal, academic, and professional – at the center of what we do. This mission continues even after you graduate, for as long as you need us.
