“I came to the MSBA program because I had a wonderful year at the GSM when I was in the MPAc program. When I decided to study analytics, I knew that the MSBA program would provide the practical coursework and caring environment that would set me up for success.”

Jessica Padolina MSBA 21

DSAC President and Career Committee

“I chose the MSBA program because I wanted a curriculum that was both technically rigorous and practically applicable. The year-long practicum was a major draw because of the possibilities in projects and skills I can pick up alongside the normal curriculum. Besides that, it’s hard not to pick my alma mater when I already know how great the school’s culture and passion for learning is.”

“I chose the MSBA program at UC Davis because of the carefully curated curriculum that focused on imparting the knowledge in a cohesive way. It’s very systematically created so that everything ‘clicks’ into place at the end. That click is highly gratifying.”
