For students joining our full-time MBA program starting Fall 2021, please be advised of a potential change to the core curriculum. The GSM faculty have recommended to enhance each core course from three units to four units of curricular credit. This recommendation is now under consideration for approval by the Graduate Council at UC Davis. Should this change be approved by the start of Fall quarter 2021, there may a change in the number of credit hours you will have to complete each quarter. The total number of units to be completed for graduation will not change. Should you have questions about this, please talk to your admissions director.
