UW Business School launches new MBA Web site
The UW Business School recently launched a renovated Web site for its flagship MBA program. Highly ranked by the Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, U.S. News & World Report, The Economist, and the Financial Times, the Full-time MBA program draws ever more talented students annually, who as graduates put their MBAs to work in a broad selection of successful careers.
Assistant Dean for UW Business School Masters Programs, Dan Poston noted:
"Our new Web site design began with the users. We asked them what they wanted to know, and how they wanted to access that information. The new site provides a broader range of content in a format and style that reflects the very open, flexible, and accessible culture of our program."
The site offers prospective students every detail about admissions in a 5-step process. Current students can now visit a single portal that aggregates all the information, forms, and policies they need. Alumni can get the latest stats on the size of the MBA alumni network and try a new social networking tool, HuskyConnect. Recruiters and employers will find many ways to get involved with students and programs at the UW Business School.
