High Achieving, High Potential
Some of our EMBA students lead organizations. Some lead teams. Some have cultivated deep expertise in functional areas. All demonstrate the potential for even greater impact through leadership, and bring varied experience that will enrich their classmates' learning.
Fit with Berkeley Haas Culture
Do you align well with our Defining Leadership Principles? Question the Status Quo, Confidence Without Attitude, Students Always, and Beyond Yourself are embedded in how we learn and lead, and we look for these in your experience and attributes.
Strong Intellectual Performance
The Berkeley MBA curriculum is rigorous, and class discussions are fast-paced, penetrating, and provocative. We want to be sure you will thrive in and enrich the intensely collaborative nature of the Berkeley EMBA learning experience. To help with this, we now provide a free Quant Readiness Course, perfect for seasoned executives who have been away from school for awhile, to ensure you're MBA-ready.

How to Become a Haas Student
We want to admit students who are excited to continue developing as leaders and ready to take on the challenges of a part-time MBA experience. We're seeking future EMBAs who reflect the spirit of growth and innovation that will make them successful in the program.
Explore EMBA Application Process and Requirements
"If you're considering getting an MBA, my top piece of advice would be to just start. It can be really intimidating when you're on the outside of that process and you feel not qualified or like it's not the right time. But once you get started and make that phone call to admissions or open an application, do a class visit, and start talking to family and friends or employers, that hesitation quickly turns to excitement."

What Can You Contribute to an MBA Class?
MBA applicants often state their goals as: I want to achieve something new, to change careers, or to advance. While these are valid, what distinguishes candidates in the application process is thinking beyond personal goals to consider how their contributions will impact the entire academic community.
