Your Next Steps

Visit Campus

The best way make this choice with clarity and confidence is to visit campus and discover what makes Foster unique. You’ll learn more about curriculum, career services, student organizations, special programs, and facilities while on the grounds.

If you’re local or love the excitement of a last-minute trip, join us for Shadow Day on Tuesday, May 12.

AM Session PM Session

Too soon? You can still visit campus! We’d love to have you here, and hope to have the opportunity to work with you in planning your visit. Would you like to have lunch with a current student, tour campus, sit in on a class, or meet one-on-one with a career coach? Email [email protected] and let us know how we can personalize your experience.

Spouses and significant others are also welcome! We know that you’ll make this decision together and hope that both of you will have the opportunity to get a genuine sense of the community you’d be joining.

Talk to Someone Who’s Done It

The most useful signal you’ll get is a real conversation. Contact us to connect with a current student in your target industry or function, or reach a Foster alum in your target city. These aren’t scripted talking points, these are people who made the same decision you’re making now.

Review Your Financing Options

Foster is a top-ranked program at a public university known for one of the best ROIs among US business schools. Before you finalize your decision, review scholarship, fellowship, and loan options. Many admitted students don’t realize the full scope of aid available.
