Choose Courses that Deepen Your Expertise

Early in your second year, you take the lead in crafting coursework that supports your objectives, using electives to strengthen your general management skills, dive deeper into a specific industry, or focus on courses that explore particular functions.

The elective portfolio offers flexibility, allowing students to select classes in the evenings or on weekends, and to choose courses that are in-person or online. In addition to traditional class scheduling, there are Sunday day-long courses and block-week courses. Unique to the Evening & Weekend MBA program, students also have the option of taking electives in the summer.

Over half of the courses are dual-listed with the Full-Time MBA and MBA for Executives programs, fostering rich in-class learning and networking. With over 50 electives in the fall and more than 70 electives in the spring, there are many opportunities to enhance your MBA journey. If you don’t find what you need, independent study provides another way to pursue an area of interest.

For Evening & Weekend MBA students, learning also means accessing the vast resources of UC Berkeley, the #2-ranked public university by U.S. News & World Report. This includes highly ranked schools of public health, public affairs, and law. You also gain access to high-performing colleagues, world-renowned faculty, and influential thinkers in politics, the arts, and the sciences.

I loved the freedom that the array of electives gave me to tailor my coursework to my needs and interests. The Reimagining Slums class I took at the Jacobs Institute introduced me to systems thinking. It also was a great opportunity to study and do projects with students in the Full-Time MBA Program, as well as people studying in the Schools of Public Health and Public Policy. It was great exposure to different points of view.
