MBA Programs


Students enrolled in any of the three Berkeley MBA programs (Full-Time, Evening & Weekend, or Executive) are encouraged to consider a focus in finance. Finance is one of the general management fundamentals stressed in every MBA path, but it’s also a potential area of emphasis for your MBA curriculum. The introductory finance course is supplemented by recommended electives.


The experiential Haas@Work program gives students close contact with a number of financial clients, including Wells Fargo, Visa, and Charles Schwab. Read about the Visa experience.
