Historical Note

The School of Business Administration was founded in 1917, the second business school in the western United States. It opened with seven faculty and twelve students, enrolled in either the Bachelors of Business Administration or Master of Business Administration. The School was housed in the newly constructed Commerce Hall, now Savery Hall.

The University of Washington's Board of Regents renamed the UW Business School the Michael G. Foster School of Business on Sept. 20, 2007.
