Sonu Durgia arrived at Haas to expand her horizons. "I wanted a business school with a great finance program and a broader outlook, and the general management program at Haas offers just the right blend. The finance courses and faculty are top grade, and the varied interests and backgrounds of students enrich the learning environment. The decision to come to Haas was undoubtedly the best career decision for me."

The core and elective courses gave Durgia the opportunity to tailor her program to suit her needs. "The program is continuously evolving based on student needs, interests, and input."

Innovation, Durgia believes, is key to every aspect of the Berkeley MBA program. "The hidden entrepreneur in every student is challenged and nourished. Class exercises and cases helped me build confidence to solve real-life problems. I feel well equipped to apply all the tools learned at Haas in my career."
