Berkeley Haas: The Heart of What's Next™
Increasingly powerful computing capabilities and the capture and analysis of massive amounts of data are dramatically altering the way we do business, and this demands new thinking from business leaders.
The Evening & Weekend Berkeley MBA Program produces leaders who engage in new thinking to deliver innovation of all kinds, including strategic, operational, and organizational. They make decisions rooted in quantitative and analytic rigor, while excelling at the core skills businesses will always need: critical thinking, communication, and constant adaptability.
At Berkeley Haas, you gain these capabilities through focus on:
- Leadership development: Become a leader who inspires others and knows how to make decisions rooted in analytic rigor and on an understanding of the impact those decisions have on real people.
- Experiential learning: In the classroom, you gain exposure to, question, discuss, and debate new ideas. Then, you put your growing skills and knowledge to work—at work, and in the WE Innovate academic retreat, as well as in one of our experiential learning courses.
- Global opportunities: You’ll explore the nature of global enterprise and leadership in the classroom, in the field, and from classmates—who originally hail from as many as 20 countries.
