Diversity Matters

It’s no surprise that top companies around the world, regardless of industry, are focused on creating a diverse workplace to fuel their competitive advantage.  In the Pacific Northwest, companies ranging from Microsoft to Nordstrom, from Starbucks to Russell Investments, have embraced diversity as part of their long-term growth strategies.

At the Foster School of Business, we also embrace the power of diversity and the positive impact it plays in creating a world-class educational experience. We share the University’s dedication to promoting the understanding and appreciation of human differences, and the constructive expression of ideas.

We’re committed to producing leaders who think differently and make a difference and this outcome is enhanced when our MBA’s have varied backgrounds and experiences. To that end, we welcome individuals of different ages, races, genders, cultures, sexual orientation and economic status. And we celebrate the interactions that occur when students bring a diversity of life experience into the classroom.

We invite you to be a part of it.
