This one-year program, exclusively for Working Professional MBA students, is designed to help participants understand leadership, build self-awareness and strengthen leadership capabilities. The Leadership Fellows Program is designed to complement the UC Davis MBA core curriculum and continue the school’s mission to prepare innovative leaders for global impact. Interested students from both the Sacramento and Bay Area campuses must apply to be one of the 20 participants in the program.
