Your highly accomplished classmates not only enrich your academic journey, they become trusted advisors, supporters, and friends for life.

Go Beyond the Classroom to Expand Your Network
There is geometric progression to growth in this program: working with your study group of four or five, bonding with classmates during field immersion weeks, getting to know students in other programs at UC Berkeley, allying with your extensive alumni network, and experiencing unparalleled access to Silicon Valley's world-class innovators.
Infuse Your Thinking with Diverse Perspectives
The most successful leaders understand and value the perspectives and experiences that every individual brings to campus and to the workplace. The diversity of your executive MBA community enlivens the classroom, shows you new ways of thinking, and advances your learning.
A Culture Infused By Shared Values

We thrive at the epicenter of innovation. We make progress by speaking our minds even when it challenges convention. We lead by championing bold ideas and taking intelligent risks.
Confidence Without Attitude
We make decisions based on evidence and analysis, giving us the confidence to act with humility. We foster collaboration by building a foundation of empathy, inclusion, and trust.
Students Always
We are a community designed to support curiosity. We actively seek out diverse perspectives as part of our lifelong pursuit of personal and intellectual growth. There is always more to learn.
Beyond Yourself
We shape our world by leading ethically and responsibly. As stewards of our enterprises, we take the longer view in our decisions and actions. This often means putting the collective good above our own interests.
