Next Steps
Make Connections
As a part of your consideration of our offer of admission, we encourage you to connect with current students and alumni. History suggests that students are attracted to Foster for a host of reasons and decide to become a Husky because of the strength of our authentic, supportive, and generative community. We also invite you to join our Class of 2027 LinkedIn Group to connect with your fellow admitted students and to experience this community yourself at Welcome Weekend.
Admission Events
Whether you have already decided to attend Foster or are still weighing your options, we strongly encourage you to save the date and plan to attend our upcoming Welcome Weekend, with the main program being held on January 31, 2025. Please join us to connect with current students, staff, faculty, and alumni to learn more about what makes the Foster Full-time MBA Program truly exceptional. You’ll get a sense of what it’s like to be a part of our community while learning about our curriculum, career services, facilities, special programs, and student organizations. This event will be informative and celebratory. We certainly hope you will join us.
