Setting an example of leading by doing, Graduate School of Management at UC Davis provides the optimal mix of innovation, collaboration, and sustainability.

The MBA program ensures an immersive and transformative experience that could be tailored to suit varying interests and backgrounds. At the heart of it is the diverse and welcoming community that motivates one to participate, collaborate and achieve together. Witnessing the implementation of groundbreaking sustainable solutions at campus, I found UC Davis my answer to a better tomorrow.

I chose UC Davis to be near the phenomenal Food/Agriculture/Environmental science programs that exist here. 

Why did you choose UC Davis?

I chose UC Davis because one of the student hosts said "nobody is from Davis" (which is, of course, a small exaggeration). It felt like a full-time MBA program where people would come from around the world and want to join together and form a community. And that was absolutely my experience. I was in a moment in life where I wanted to explore and find a new career, so having that supportive environment was crucial.

As a first-gen student, I had this belief that achieving my bachelor's was enough of an accomplishment for me. Although, seeing my family (Rita and Maria) and friends pursue their degrees in higher education, that motivated me to want to do the same. After countless hours researching different schools, I knew that UC Davis was my first choice.

What stood out to me the most about the GSM was its close-knit community and focus on collaboration. Those are both important factors that align with where I saw myself being the most successful at for my MBA.
