UC Berkeley Haas School of Business campus  

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY

The Haas School of Business and the Bay Area
The Haas School has symbolized the pioneering spirit of the San Francisco Bay Area since 1898. Connected to high-tech firms in nearby Silicon Valley, Haas has also developed a broad curriculum that reflects the Bay Area’s entrepreneurial drive and openness to new ideas.

Thinking more broadly
Leadership that builds new industries and looks toward the Pacific Rim requires creativity, resourcefulness and razor-sharp critical thinking. UC Berkeley faculty members tend to think across academic disciplines, an approach that will stretch your ability to conceptualize and foster big-picture thinking.

Housed in three interconnected buildings that feature wireless access, the Haas School places you in the midst of one of the world’s leading universities. The hillside campus, rimmed by coffee houses, bookstores and ethnic restaurants, lies a few miles from the Golden Gate Bridge, the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco’s business community.
