What do you value most about your experience in the UC Davis MBA program?

“Professors- top flight.  Honestly learned at least one thing from every class I’ve taken.  Other students- since working professionals are a little older, you can hear about their previous work experiences and relate that to academic theory. Very diverse group from difference professional backgrounds.”
