In order to be accepted for enrollment in MBA 298 A and B, International Business Development, you must complete and submit the following materials to room F445 no later than 5:00pm, Friday, October 9th, 2009. Do not staple materials. No double sided copies. You may slide your application under the door or put it in the Clausen Center mailbox in F580. Any application submitted after the 5:00pm deadline will not be accepted.
Participation in the IBD program (MBA 298 A
and B) is only open to students already enrolled in
the first year of the full time MBA program of the Haas School
of Business at UC Berkeley. (See admissions for applications
to Haas or to be put on the mailing list for an MBA application
package click here.) Enrollment in IBD is limited - therefore, students must apply for admission.
The application process requires attendance at an IBD
information session, completion of an application form,
a 500 word essay and an interview. A resume is also required.
The program requires that you work on a project for a three
week period immediately after completion of exams in May (May
22 through June 12, 2010.) Participation may affect
your ability to accept an internship or, at the least, may
affect the starting date of an internship. You must be
able to participate for the entire period.
Please Note: If you are in the process of trying to adjust your citizenship in the U.S., the Department of Homeland Security advises that there may be severe consequences for travel outside the country. Your application could be denied and/or you might not be re-admitted.
By participating in MBA 298A you are making a commitment to
enroll in MBA 298B in the following Fall semester. This requires manadatory attendance at one, full-day classroom session on a selected Friday in September 2009. NO EXCEPTIONS. Credit
for MBA 298A will only be received upon successful completion
of both parts of the program. Non-completion of MBA 298B
will result in a failing grade for the program.
Enrollment in the Haas MFE Program will prevent participation
in IBD.
Application Form
The application form will ask you to list, in detail, the
countries, languages, industries and functional areas in which
you have experience and ability. In some cases this will duplicate
the information in your resume. However, the use of the form
will allow standardization of data. The application will also
ask you to indicate your preferences for countries, industries,
functions, etc. This will help us to select clients that best
match the interests of the class. Click
here to open and/or print an application form in MS Word format.
Essay
Write one essay of 500 words or less that addresses all of
the specific questions indicated in the application form.
Resume
A one page resume, in the standard format recommended by the
Career Center, must accompany
