Experience-Based Learning

Twenty-five percent of the curriculum is hands-on with five field immersions that delve into leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, international business, and public policy. This approach ensures you can apply your knowledge across diverse challenges and environments. These impactful week-long experiences are a huge highlight for our EMBA students.

My priorities were to immerse myself in the curriculum while studying with peers from other industries and disciplines. I also wanted to form lasting bonds with those in my cohort. The block schedule of EMBA delivers both. We learn and socialize together."

Immerse yourself in Berkeley Haas' vibrant campus environment, forging connections with students in many of our MBA programs and disciplines across UC Berkeley. Throughout each program block, you'll reside at the same hotel as your peers, fostering collaboration, sharing strategies for work-life-school balance, and nurturing lifelong friendships.
