San Francisco Bay Area MBA Class Visits
We invite interested applicants to experience the UC Davis Bay Area MBA classroom first hand. Before the class, you will be given a tour of the facilities by a Bay Area MBA Program Student Ambassador and then introduced to a student host to sit with during the class. After the class you will be invited to eat lunch with current students.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. To accommodate as many prospective applicants as possible, we can only offer one course visit per person. Attendees should confirm their attendance at least 48 hours prior to their scheduled visit with the Class Visit Student Ambassador Coordinator.
