Hello there! I am hoping to stay in-state for college and am considering majoring in business. Can anyone recommend which universities in Washington State have strong business programs? I would appreciate your thoughts!
Of course, happy to provide some info here! If you're looking to pursue business and prefer to stay in Washington State, you do have some excellent choices available to you.
The Foster School of Business offered by the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle, for instance, is undeniably one of the top business schools in the state and even nationally. It offers a highly ranked undergraduate business program with outstanding faculty and extensive opportunities for internships and networking.
Another notable institution is Washington State University (WSU) located in Pullman, which has the Carson College of Business. Their undergraduate program offers several exciting and robust majors such as Accounting, Finance, and Marketing.
Also, Seattle University's Albers School of Business and Economics is another strong program to consider. Ranked among the top 20% of national universities, Albers is well-known for its focus on responsible leadership and business ethics.
Additionally, Gonzaga University in Spokane offers a Bachelor of Business Administration program that is AACSB accredited, a prestigious accreditation that only 5% of business schools worldwide achieve.
When making your decision, consider the curriculum, available majors/concentrations, location for internships, alumni network, program rankings, and college culture.
As always, it's important to visit the campus (if possible) and speak with current students or faculty to gain a comprehensive understanding of the program. Best of luck!
