Haas School of Business
Founded in 1898, the Haas School of Business is the oldest public business school in the U.S., but its graduates generate some of the newest ideas in all areas of business. Haas' emphasis on entrepreneurship and its proximity to nearby Silicon Valley make the school a launching point for many new businesses.

Admissions officers can afford to be demanding of their applicants since Haas is among the most selective MBA programs in the country, and both the MBA and undergraduate programs consistently rank among the best in the BusinessWeek rankings. The school prides itself on producing graduates who have, above all else, confidence without attitude. Teamwork lies at the heart of most Haas coursework, and students often learn as much from each other as from the faculty.

Degree Options
Haas offers several degree possibilities: a two-year full-time MBA, a part-time MBA, an executive MBA, an undergraduate business program, and a business PhD program.

Here, classes for 64 Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA students moved to Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa Valley for one day. In Napa, students combined their regular business classes with experiential learning—the business of wine-making—and tasted a different part of California's business culture.

Undergraduate Life
Students can apply to Haas' two-year undergraduate business program in their freshman year. Before the school year officially begins, new admits must take two mandatory introductory business courses during the summer session. Some students complain that the policy forces them to choose between the school and a beneficial internship, while others enjoy the opportunity to get acclimated before the start of the academic year.

Students can complete business courses abroad in one of many countries, acquiring a global perspective in addition to academic credit. Studying abroad is the cornerstone of the global management concentration, a rigorous undergraduate program that combines intensive language immersion and international experience with business studies.

Haas also hosts a series of undergraduate case analysis competitions. Open to the entire undergraduate UC community, competitions take place on campus and off. In order to simulate the diverse reality of the business world, at least one member of each team must come from a non-business undergraduate program. The Investment Banking Case Competition, held in the fall of 2008, was sponsored by Goldman Sachs, with submissions evaluated by executives of the company.

Faculty
Professor Laura Tyson, who serves as an economic adviser to President Obama, teaches international business. The former dean at Haas, and later at London Business School, Tyson returned to Haas in 2007. She has earned both the Haas School's and UC Berkeley's Distinguished Teaching Awards.

Haas is a top-tier business school due in large part to its faculty, numbering over 200 with 80 PhD-holding professors. The faculty are frequently available to address students questions outside class and office hours.

Clubs and Organizations
When they're not in class, Haas students are generally busy with Berkeley-affiliated clubs and organizations. Over 36 opportunities for extra-curricular involvement exist for MBAs, including Redwoods@Haas, the outdoor club that goes skydiving, skiing in Tahoe, and hiking in Yosemite.

Other organizations are business related, such as the Finance Club. In 2009, the club planned a trip to Omaha to meet renowned investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett. One hundred students from all three Berkeley MBA programs—full-time, part-time, and executive—engaged in a Q&A with Buffett and joined him for lunch.

Student Initiative
Of the thousands that apply, only about 12% of prospective MBAs receive admission to Haas. This low admission rate places Haas among the three most selective B-schools in the nation. More than a third of the full-time MBA class is international, and students bring an array of experiences to the program. Haas students play an active part in their own education. Participation in student-initiated elective courses is a tradition at the Haas School. Every semester, the MBA program offers courses taught by students and overseen by faculty. In the past, the courses have included Social Entrepreneurship, Wine Industry, and Private Philanthropy.

Subjects such as social entrepreneurship are popular at Haas. Says one graduate student in a BusinessWeek survey, "For years, many have been drawn to Haas because of its distinctive culture: students from very diverse interests and backgrounds who have a passion to make a substantive difference, not just make the next buck."

Women at Haas
About 30% of the student population at Haas is made up of women, and Berkeley leads various initiatives to increase that number. The annual Women in Leadership conference draws several hundred women and men to Haas to learn about balancing work and life, redefining success, breaking through the glass ceiling, and becoming inspired leaders. The conference is organized entirely by Berkeley MBA students in the Women in Leadership Club and is the longest-standing annual student conference at Haas.

By the Bay
The Fisher Gate connects the Haas School to the greater Berkeley campus, and is named in honor of Haas alumnus Don Fisher, founder and chairman emeritus of Gap Inc. (GPS).

Haas is nestled against the Berkeley hills overlooking the San Francisco Bay area, and much of the surrounding area is devoted to a sprawling nature preserve. The charming city of Berkeley provides endless opportunity for exploration. Vintage bookstores, coffee houses, bars, street vendors, gardens, world-famous restaurants, and theaters all contribute to Berkeley's funky and friendly personality.

Experiential Learning
Haas emphasizes experiential, direct learning as a vehicle for its students' education. Experiential learning accounts for 10% of all teaching methods used at Haas and offers multiple ways for students to get involved inside of the business world while still pursuing an MBA.

Haas has a series of @Work programs: Haas@Work, Nonprofit@Work, International@Work, Entrepreneurship@Work and CorporateResponsibility@Work. In these programs, students join with companies to develop solutions to real business challenges that the companies face. They prepare students to understand business challenges, develop original solutions, present them to the client executive team, and help implement the solutions chosen by the executives. Here, MBA students participating in Haas@Work brainstorm for their client, an international consumer electronics company.

Foundation for Friendship
MBA students proudly present their cohort colors during Orientation Week at Haas. Every year, newly minted Berkeley MBA students enjoy OWeek and its high-profile alumni guest speakers, volunteer activities, orientation sessions, and outings in the San Francisco Bay area while getting acquainted with their classmates before the first day of class.

Students cite the signature Berkeley down-to-earthiness as the best part of Berkeley. In a recent BusinessWeek survey, one investment banking graduate student remarked, "All top 10 schools have strong academics so the difference in my opinion is about the character of each school. At Haas I found diversity, but at the same time a common feeling that people matter the most."

Specialization
The Haas MBA program offers numerous specialties, including global management, health care, social responsibility, and real estate. The programs combine lectures and case studies with initiatives that can take participants all over the world. Students have worked on hunger relief in Ghana through the International Business Development program, and with the fast-food giant McDonald's on corporate social responsibility through the CSR Research Fellows Program.

In the photo above, MBA students reclaimed the coveted "golden shovel" at the 19th annual Berkeley-Stanford Real Estate Challenge. Each year, teams from Stanford and UC Berkeley compete to present the best real estate development proposal for a plot of land in the greater San Francisco Bay area. The competition is sponsored by the local chapter of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties.

Sustainability
Here, Professor Catherine Wolfram advises students on clean energy initiatives, such as the Cleantech to Market program. In this program, graduate students help researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab bring their clean-tech innovations to market faster. Wolfram also teaches a course in Energy and Environmental Markets that features two competitive strategy simulation games.

Haas is devoted to Earth-friendly initiatives both inside and outside the classroom. MBAs gain international consulting experience and practice sustainability through the International Business Development program, part of the global management specialization. As many as 70 students can travel in teams to locations all over the world and help clients become more efficient. Students on the trip to Zambia partner with the Wildlife Conservation Society and Community Markets for Conservation in order to develop a better business model for sustainability.

Alumni
Berkeley MBA alumni reconnect at the annual Haas School Alumni Celebration in Silicon Valley. They are active members of the Haas Alumni Network of 36,000 business leaders around the world. Alumni clubs exist in major cities across more than 17 countries of the world.

Berkeley alumni have gone on to reach fame and fortune through a spectrum of successful startups. Above, alumni Keval Desai, David Katz, and Kevin Brown reconnect at the annual Haas School Alumni Celebration in Silicon Valley. Other prominent Haas MBA alumni include John Hanke, Class of 1996, the product director of Google Earth, and Paul Merage, Class of 1968, who found his niche in the world of cuisine by co-inventing Hot Pockets.

Recruiting
An overwhelming majority of students at Haas (77%) find post-MBA jobs through the career services department, and 22% procure jobs through on-campus recruiting. Top hiring firms include Google (GOOG), Yahoo! (YHOO), and Amazon.com (AMZN). Thirty percent of Haas students go into technology, while around 20% enter into the financial services sector.

The Haas summer internship is the biggest catalyst for jobs, accounting for 35% of the careers gained right after Haas. Top hiring companies for summer internships include Goldman Sachs (GS), Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), and Adobe Systems (ADBE), to name a few.

Beyond Berkeley
Job placement at Haas is about on par with other highly ranked schools; around 90% of job-seeking grads land positions by graduation. But around 13% of Haas MBAs do not seek employment, a number almost double that of many other top-ranked schools, and almost half of them start their own businesses.

Haas grads usually make around $110,000, an annual salary that rivals the average paycheck of students from the nations top five schools. In both the traditional job market and the realm of newly minted companies, MBA graduates continue to pioneer in the business world long after their time at Haas is over.
