The Berkeley Advantage


The Haas School of Business is part of the extraordinary University of California, Berkeley, ranked recently as the second best university world-wide (Times of London). The school offers a superb general management curriculum that emphasizes leading through innovation, supporting new ideas and creative thinking. Located in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area, the school benefits from deep connections to Silicon Valley and nearby hubs of finance, discovery and development. The collaborative, team-based culture of our programs produces engaged students who possess confidence without attitude.


Creative, resourceful, intelligent, energetic, entrepreneurial and, above all, highly motivated to make things happen around them - all of these are hallmarks of the Berkeley MBA student. As members of one of the most highly selective MBA programs, Berkeley MBA students enter the program having distinguished themselves in their studies, in their career and in their community. Once here, they are challenged daily by the world class Haas faculty and their fellow classmates in an atmosphere where students can further the development of their analytical, communication and leadership skills.


Berkeley MBA students have a wide range of courses, certificates and degree programs from which to choose. Many take advantage of attending one of the world's preeminent universities by supplementing their business course work with courses in law, urban planning, public policy, and public health.


With a mastery of powerful quantitative tools and an understanding of the changing technological, global and human dimensions of business, Berkeley MBAs are well prepared to make a difference in your company.
