I was surprised by the amount of information available to the public on the UC Davis GSM website when I was researching MBA programs. All admission teams, career development teams, and student ambassadors were available to me when I needed to decide. Also, I was able to look into the historical offering courses instead of just course titles. When I chose to join UC Davis, I was confident about the academic aspects, the career resources, and the cultural diversity.

I chose UC Davis because I wanted an MBA program with clear geographic access and strong alumni associations to the tech industry, a sincere focus on leadership development, and a strong community atmosphere. The MBA program at UC Davis provides numerous opportunities to be challenged and succeed alongside a diverse group of peers and with the support from world-class professors and deeply connected program leaders. The GSM culture is constantly reinforced through targeted career development workshops and collaborative peer work and interactions.

I chose UC Davis's Graduate School of Management not only for the skills and knowledge I would be able to obtain from the MPAc program, but also for the amazing faculty. Throughout my application process and even afterwards, I was always welcomed with opened arms and not once did I feel like I couldn't reach out to the staff. The sense of community and family at the GSM is honestly so genuine; everyone has so much love and kindness to give.
