Global Management

With the continuing globalization of the economy, the need to think and compete globally has become an imperative. The Haas School prepares you to take an international approach to business through courses, special programs, international travel experiences, club activities, and a research center that focuses on the international business environment.

Travel opportunities include the Seminar in International Business . Seminar students spend one to two weeks studying a variety of industries within a particular country and learning what it’s like to do business in that particular economy. If you desire a more in-depth international experience, you may spend a semester abroad as an exchange student, choosing from a select list of leading business schools in Europe and Asia.

The international emphasis of the Haas School is an integral part of its culture, with over 15% of Berkeley MBA students coming from more than 30 countries outside the US. Many Berkeley MBA students have lived, studied, or worked abroad. Many faculty, too, are either originally from other countries, or have extensive international experience and contacts. The impact of this international diversity on the MBA program is enormous, adding varied perspectives to classroom discussions, team projects, and everyday interactions.
