Managing your Time
Despite the dedication this program requires, its structure allows you to successfully balance an MBA education with work, family and travel. Every three weeks, you immerse yourself in new ideas and methodologies—then find yourself applying what you have learned right away.

Supporting your goals
We’ve streamlined the mechanics, taking care of textbook distribution and registration so you can focus your energies on putting your best into the program—and getting the most out of it. Career Services offers workshops in public speaking and résumé building that can polishyour image.

In addition to wireless access on both the Berkeley and Columbia campuses, you have access to two state-of-the-art computer centers and use of two comprehensive library facilities, including extensive print collections, Web-based information services and searchable CD-ROM databases

Expanding Your Horizons
Beyond these services, students benefit from the full range of academic and extra-curricular opportunities. You may participate in Berkeley’s annual Digital Media Conference or its Business Forecast Luncheon, the annual Columbia Women in Business Conference or the Global Social Venture Competition, a business-plan competition in which both schools play a key role.
