From the Dean

The Haas School of Business is the kind of place that sets minds alight, and sets lives on a brighter course. That is certainly true of the Berkeley Full-time MBA Program. I encourage you to learn more about its benefits for your future career success.

You will soon discover that the Haas School is about the independent and innovative thinking that differentiates UC Berkeley from others. Through the path-breaking research and teaching of our faculty, and the pioneering activities and leadership of our students and alumni, Haas plays an integral role in creating world-changing innovations. Moreover, our school expects and achieves excellence in its pursuit of new ideas and best practices.

As a relatively small program, the Berkeley Full-time MBA is about community, and the kind of esprit de corps that this fosters. As a Berkeley MBA student, you will become an essential part of a community that values diversity. Our students are particularly well oriented to adding value in team-based, collaborative ways, with a community spirit that is so much a part of the Berkeley tradition. And finally, our students possess confidence without attitude — a real asset for success.

Haas is also a business school with large and growing momentum. We are at a strategic crossroads, and have set a course to build upon our reputation for quality and leadership among the world's very top business schools. For example, we are significantly expanding the size of our faculty, and planning for a new, additional building. This is a school that is proactively increasing its reach and its excellence — striving to make a greater, positive impact on business and society. It is an exciting time to be here.

Please visit us to meet the faculty, students, and staff, and sample what we have to offer.
