The Gateway to Thoughtful Change
About WashU Olin Business School
video Firmly established at the Gateway to the West, Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis stands as the gateway to something far grander in scale. The education we deliver prepares our students to thoughtfully make difficult decisions—the kind that can change the world.
- We instill a Values Based, Data Driven™ approach to decision-making, which equips our students to lead in an ever-evolving, connected world.
- Students become comfortable with the uncomfortable—gaining confidence to know not only which problems require the most attention, but also which solutions will do the most good.
- Our global-mindedness, coupled with our experiential learning, fosters healthier relationships between business and society.
- And as our entrepreneurial spirit challenges the current models, we pioneer innovation that opens the door for positive, sustainable progress.
At Olin, you’ll develop relationships with people invested in your success—peers, faculty members, staff, and alumni. You’ll be confident. You’ll be passionate. You’ll be prepared for any business challenge. You’ll be a leader ready to make an impact.
The small size of WashU’s business school allows for a deeper level of interaction, participation, and program customization. This fosters relationships that provide many opportunities for continuous achievement. As one of the country’s leading research-oriented business schools, Olin has a network of partners on campus, in the St. Louis community, and around the world.
National Council members, business leaders, and alumni lend their wisdom, expertise, and advice to support Olin Business School’s vision and mission.
