As a former health care consultant, Matt Holman understood that the health care industry has its own language. He credits Kristiana Raube, director of the MBA/MPH dual degree program with giving him deeper knowledge of the "broader public policy and economic issues, along with a solid management perspective within this complex industry."
Real-World Experience
"Our Innovations in Health Care class is itself a pretty innovative learning experience. Real health-care startups pitch their ideas to us in class and our teams of 'student venture capitalists' have to decide which to invest in. It's interactive and hands-on, plus it gives us access to the Bay Area's highly leading-edge business environment."
Holistic Education
"The dual degree program exposes you to different perspectives. The public health courses teach the theoretical underpinnings of public health policy. Haas classes offer a more practical, real-world approach. In the real world, I'll need both."
Leadership Training
"One of the reasons I came to business school was to refine my leadership style. The opportunity to teach Macroeconomics in the undergraduate program was a powerful leadership experience for me."
International Exchange
"I'm excited about spending my last semester at the London Business School, where I'll be able to study the National Health Service from both a policy and a business perspective. Given the health care reform discussions going on here, this is an opportunity I can't miss."
Personalized Career Services
"I really appreciated the individual, account managers we worked with at the Career Center. They knew us and our goals, the industry and its needs, and how to put both sides of the equation together."
Friendship without Borders
"I had a ball while at Haas. I've never been so busy, or felt so rewarded. I've also made lifetime friends here. Some of us went to Costa Rica for a classmate's wedding. I can imagine us traveling the world together in years to come."
