The history of Berkely
Founded in the wake of the gold rush by leaders of the newly established 31st state, the University of California's flagship campus at Berkeley has become one of the preeminent universities in the world. Its early guiding lights, charged with providing education (both "practical" and "classical") for the state's people, gradually established a distinguished faculty (with 20 Nobel laureates to date), a stellar research library, and more than 350 academic programs.
This California institution became a catalyst of economic growth and social innovation — the place where vitamin E was discovered, a lost Scarlatti opera found, the flu virus identified, and the nation's first no-fault divorce law drafted. Scholars at Berkeley have conducted groundbreaking research on urban street gangs and on basic human nutritional requirements, identified why wartime supply ships were failing at sea, invented technologies to build faster and cheaper computer chips, and imaged the infant universe.
To date, 20 UC Berkeley faculty have won Nobel awards.
In recognition of broad and deep excellence, respected sources have repeatedly ranked UC Berkeley at or near the top in fields ranging from engineering and the "hard" sciences to the social sciences, arts, and humanities. The National Research Council, in the most recent version of its highly regarded report on U.S. public and private universities, ranked Berkeley no. 1 nationally in the number of campus graduate programs (35 out of 36) among the top 10 in their fields.
In accordance with UC's "public" character, the university has long served talented individuals regardless of means. As early as 1897, financial aid was available for "needy and deserving" students. More than a century later, UC Berkeley combines outstanding teaching and research programs with broad access for students of all means — educating more federal Pell Grant recipients from low-income families than all eight Ivy League universities combined. Close to 30 percent of UC Berkeley freshmen are the first in their families to attend college.

Berkley-Business School


Leading Through Innovation
Preparing leaders who know how to put new ideas to work is the core definition of Leading Through Innovation. Of the major learning experiences that make up Leading Through Innovation in the Berkeley MBA Program, you will encounter about half of them in the classroom, and the other half you gain in other ways through special extracurricular offerings, interactions with classmates and other people, and through your own initiatives.
Top-Caliber Students
The process actually starts with the careful selection of Berkeley MBA students, who have already demonstrated leadership and a spirit of innovation prior to their arrival. They have challenged convention, and they continually try to anticipate what’s coming next. They possess the independent, forward-looking thinking long associated with UC Berkeley. The culture of Leading Through Innovation at Haas reinforces these values, and the Bay Area’s creative, entrepreneurial energy provides unrivaled opportunities to test new ideas.
You begin in MBA orientation with an exploration of the school’s leadership approach and the innovation process. The core (required) part of the MBA curriculum covers the foundations of management and business, with an emphasis on developing leaders. A cutting-edge leadership course will develop your capacity to lead others by giving you an in-depth understanding of your own capabilities. You will also participate in experiential leadership exercises, read the latest advances in our understanding of leadership, and discuss cases offered by top leaders of organizations.
A Culture of Leadership
Learning how to lead at Haas involves more than motivational and people skills. You also learn how to set direction as a leader in your strategy course, and how to manage complex projects and enterprises in your operations course—both skills are critical to successful leadership. Finally, you are taught the lessons of "leading responsibly" through your coursework and out-of-class activities, such as the Haas-founded Global Social Venture Competition. All of this is backed by a strong school culture that actively promotes these values.
Fresh thinking and leadership is encouraged everywhere at Haas, including the classroom. For example, Haas was one of the first business schools to pioneer the cross-disciplinary study of product design via the elective Managing the New Product Development Process. This popular elective, which has been taught by Senior Lecturer Sara Beckman for more than a decade, was among similar offerings that prompted Business Week to name Haas one of the top design schools in the world. The culture of innovation is continually enriched by faculty who study at the frontiers of knowledge and bring their insights into the classroom.

MIT-Shape Your Life In The Best Manner


Admissions
Welcome to the world of MIT Sloan

At MIT Sloan, a strong sense of community serves as the essence of who we are, with innovation and collaboration at the heart of what we do. Once you set foot on campus, not only will you see the diversity of our students and faculty, but also of the wide-range of customized offerings available to MBA candidates — both inside and outside the classroom.

“Learning by doing” is a cornerstone of the MIT Sloan experience, and hands-on, concept-based opportunities serve as the ultimate embodiment of the School’s mens et manus motto. The linking of “mind” and “hand” is at the heart of providing students with unique course offerings that create a depth of knowledge through real-world experiences that demand exploration, innovation, and leadership. Intrigued? If so, join us for a campus tour; peruse the biographies of our world-renowned professors; and meet with our students from around the globe or read about their experiences in our MBA Viewbook. Then decide whether you can see yourself working toward your MBA at MIT Sloan.
A world of possibility, a world of opportunity

When MIT Sloan was renamed on behalf of benefactor Alfred P. Sloan Jr. in 1964, the former chairman of General Motors stated, “The School will never be finished. It will always be a work in progress, anticipating and responding to a changing world.” Sloan’s prophesy has proven true — as clearly evidenced by the ongoing evolution of both our courses and our campus.

What remains constant, however, is our reputation as one of the leading management, science, and technical institutions in the world, which in turn attracts top corporations, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies to seek out and recruit our students for employment. Those with an entrepreneurial interest will also find themselves at home in an educational ecosystem built to foster innovation and creativity, which has led to the formation of successful companies of all kinds worldwide.
