A Solid Foundation
Your Haas education is anchored in the fundamentals of management and the latest business theories and best practices.
You will experience a rigorous, comprehensive curriculum in which you master the essential skills of management and leadership, from accounting and finance to marketing and strategy. You build a framework in qualitative, analytical, strategic, and problem solving skills. The innovative nature of the Berkeley MBA program also provides flexibility to enable you to customize your path of study according to your goals and ambitions.
Courses rooted in science
All Haas School courses are rooted in the scientific disciplines of the university – economics, mathematics, social sciences such as
psychology and sociology, and other areas. Faculty member experts in these fields apply them toward increasing our knowledge of
successful management, leadership, human behavior, how organizations work, and how the economy and markets function. As a result,
you not only gain knowledge about best business practices, but also learn about the fundamental principles behind them – the "how" and the "why."
The Berkeley MBA program is for individuals who like to think deeply and expand their understanding of the world.
Core courses lay groundwork for leadership
The Berkeley MBA curriculum consists of 12 required core courses that provide the analytical tools and essential knowledge to lead effectively.
The core courses, which make up about 40 percent of a typical student’s course of study, are taken in the first year and are designed to build
upon one another. In nearly every core course, faculty members make significant use of team assignments and projects where students work together
in small groups.
