Excel with an Executive MIS Degree from a World-Class University

The Executive Master of International Studies (formerly, the  Master of Arts in Applied International Studies, MAAIS) is offered by the University of Washington’s  Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, a leader in global area studies and among the top international programs in the world. It was founded in 1909.

By integrating a hands-on experience with the latest research and theory, EMIS graduates become goal makers to the globe.

Connect to Practitioners in a Pioneering Global City

The UW occupies an important part of Seattle, a leading hub of technology, science, philanthropy and innovation. Tapping into these resources allows students to expand their career education and the professional pathways, but also as serves as inspirational platforms to pursue their own interests. Our Civic Council members, made up of local business and philanthropic practitioners, assist students’ hands-on learning. The Civic Council member list is constantly updated to reflect current trends and developments in innovation fields.
