Student Experience

We believe tomorrow’s leadership, entrepreneurial, and game changing success stories are coming from our classrooms today. Our nationally ranked MSIS degree provides students with resources, targeted business development experiences, access to companies, industry leaders, and faculty.

Seattle’s leading business and technology giants agree. Boeing, PACCAR, Google, and Costco want more of our graduates. They want innovative thought leaders, and bold ideas that grow from the intersection of business problems and technology solutions.

MSIS emphasizes a small-tight knit community. Starting from the first day of orientation, MSIS students will become part of the Foster School of Business diverse and collaborative community. Students will have access to a network of industry professionals ready to help advance their careers. For a more in-depth glimpse of MSIS student life, take a peek into the community you’ll join.
