Requirements

Business Administration is one of the most popular majors requested by incoming UW freshmen, and Foster is consistently ranked as the best public business school in the Northwest. We want to offer students interested in business a way to be part of the Foster community from their first day as a Husky. Freshman Direct gives high school students with a strong interest in studying business the chance to apply to the Foster School while filling out their UW application.

Students who are accepted as Freshman Direct will be admitted directly from high school into the business program at the UW. Once part of the Freshman Direct Program, these students will:

• Declare Business Administration as their major
• Engage with a cohort of business-minded students
• Access the Foster Career Services
• Consult with an assigned Foster Academic Adviser
• Be eligible for Freshman Direct scholarship opportunities
• Have priority consideration to live in the Residential Business Living Learning Community (LLC)
• Participate in activities and programs exclusively for Freshman Direct students
