Vatsal Nanawati MSBA 25

I chose the UC Davis MSBA program because of its strong emphasis on applying analytics to solve real-world business problems, particularly through the year-long practicum project. The program’s proximity to the tech hubs of San Francisco and Silicon Valley also offers incredible networking and career opportunities.
