Evening & Weekend MBA Program

Curriculum

Shaping Leaders and Innovative Thinkers

In the Berkeley MBA Program, you will experience a rigorous, comprehensive curriculum in which you master the essential skills of management and leadership, from accounting and finance to marketing and strategy. You build a basic framework in qualitative, analytical, strategic, and problem solving skills. A required experiential leadership course builds your capacity to lead others.

Moreover, the broad-based Berkeley MBA curriculum emphasizes creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking. You gain the knowledge and skills to bring new ideas, fresh thinking, and positive change to any kind of organization.

Pioneering Research Enhances Your Learning

The Berkeley MBA program is for individuals who like to think deeply and expand their understanding of the world. All Haas School courses are rooted in the scientific disciplines of the university -- economics, mathematics, social sciences such as psychology and sociology, and other areas. Faculty members who are experts in these fields apply them toward increasing knowledge of successful management, leadership, human behavior, how organizations work, and how the economy and markets function. As a result, you not only gain knowledge about best business practices, but also learn about the fundamental principles behind them -- the "how" and the "why."

Cohort System Builds Your Network

Each fall, the program admits four cohorts of approximately 60 students each into the Evening & Weekend MBA Program: two cohorts are made up of evening students and two consist of weekend students. The personal and professional contacts developed within these cohorts become strong networks for your professional life after graduation.
