UC Davis GSM has a great faculty-to-student ratio with flexible course selection and the freedom to shape my MBA experience. I also appreciate the fact that the GSM teaches the philosophy of "be kind" to its graduate students; in a world of cut-throat competition and ruthless hearts, being kind is incredibly important and not many business schools teach their students how to be empathetic and compassionate to peers and the environment.
The Bay Area MBA is an opportunity to grow my career in the software industry by learning effective leadership tools that will enable me to be a successful people leader in the future. Meeting other current and future leaders in the Bay Area community will help establish a network that will further growth in the community.
UC Davis has created a program that truly works with the working professional. I have also appreciated the sense of community built and the sense of community I felt when I was hosted by a student ambassador.
A UC Davis alumna had advocated for the UC Davis MBA program. Her experiences and support had encouraged me to apply.
The staff at UC Davis were very welcoming and informative. While in the MBA program, I continue to receive continuous support from my peers, professor, and staff.
