As a prospective MBA student, you’re looking for the highest quality program that will challenge you, stretch you and welcome you into a community of the best and brightest colleagues.
These are the same reasons I recently decided to come from London Business School to become dean of the Graduate School of Management at the University of California, Davis. I am honored to have this opportunity.
Like me, you’ll find that UC Davis is unlike any other business school in the world. We have extraordinary people, programs and potential: an internationally renowned faculty, top MBA candidates, a dedicated and far-reaching alumni network and an ever-expanding constellation of corporate partners.
Our approach to teaching emphasizes the art and science of putting management theory into practice—turning ideas into action—within a dynamic, interactive learning environment founded on three pillars.
In addition, our students benefit from the rich offerings of the entire UC Davis campus—and our prime locations in Northern California. The San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento region business communities are economic engines linked to global markets. Our linkages to the Bay Area give you access to the world’s largest hot-bed of innovative start-ups.
As a student you’ll have access to leading financial, energy and consumer companies, Fortune 500 firms, cutting-edge technology and biotech leaders, top venture capitalists, and the nation’s wine and agricultural centers. .
The values and principles of social and environmental responsibility are woven into the very fabric of our business school community and the campus. Our culture prepares globally aware leaders who change the world.
Already ranked and recognized nationally and globally, the Graduate School of Management is positioned for even greater impact on the state, national and international stages.
I’m thrilled to be at UC Davis, and I hope you can join us as a member of the Class of 2010.
