Full-time MBA Program

Berkeley MBA Students

Making a difference
UC Berkeley and Berkeley MBA students have a long tradition of social responsibility and a commitment to creating a better world. Almost the entire MBA class participates in Challenge for Charity events – talent shows, charity auctions, and sports competitions to raise money for the Special Olympics and other organizations. Many Berkeley MBA students volunteer as mentors for disadvantaged high school students through the Young Entrepreneurs at Haas program (YEAH). Nearly 100 percent of these high school students go on to college, many to top schools.

Collaborative opportunities
The cooperative, team-oriented nature of the Berkeley MBA program encourages students to work together productively and harmoniously. Haas students are ambitious and driven to succeed, and they understand the value of studying and socializing together. They embody the California mantra--work hard, play hard.

"No one gets to this point in their education without being competitive. But once you get to Haas, there is a mind shift. You start to realize that all of your future endeavors will be judged by how you lead people, not what you accomplish individually. It is more about the collective whole."
