ABOUT OLIN

Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis is an institution of leaders: distinguished research faculty…exhilarated, brilliant students…and successful, energized alumni. Its mission, which has guided the business school since its founding in 1917, is to
Create knowledge…Inspire individuals…Transform business

“Research-driven thinking, applied” is the organizing principle across the school’s 11 degree and nondegree programs, which emphasize developing the rigorously analytical, critical-thinking skills; applied learning; global competence; and communication and collaboration skills needed to solve today’s complex, unstructured business challenges.  

Olin's small size allows for a deeper level of interaction, participation and program customization, which, in turn, fosters key relationships that provide endless opportunities for continuous achievement. With alliances in England, China, Brazil, Spain and India, Washington University’s Olin Business School is advancing today's business world and tomorrow's global leaders.

Washington University encourages and gives full consideration to all applicants for admission, financial aid, and employment. The University does not discriminate in access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or disability. Present Department of Defense policy governing all ROTC programs discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation; such discrimination is inconsistent with Washington University policy. Inquiries about compliance should be addressed to the University’s Vice Chancellor for Human Resources, Washington University, Campus 1184, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO 63130.
