There’s never been a more exciting time to get into gaming! With the global gaming industry now worth over $300B and Big Tech rapidly joining in, there are a multitude of new MBA pathways (e.g., PM, PMM, Data & Analytics, Finance) and new ways to game (e.g., VR, Mobile, Free-to-play).
Our passion is to connect students through gaming. Whether you want to explore MBA career paths in Seattle’s thriving gaming industry (ranked No. 1 in US), or just want to enjoy playing games with your classmates, we want to create a community through social gaming events and establish our UW Foster MBA program as a regional and national leader for game business talent.

I'm a recent Seattle-area transplant from New York City, and my hobbies include hiking, D&D, and Renaissance Faires. Though I don’t play anymore, World of Warcraft will always have a special place in my heart – especially Wrath of the Lich King.
