New MBA Offered for Working Professionals

Working professionals will have the chance to pursue a Master of Business Administration degree at UC Davis through a new program that offers professionals the benefits of studying at the Graduate School of Management while moving at their own pace. "This is a University of California-quality education, comparable to UC Berkeley or UCLA," says Bob Smiley, dean of the Graduate School of Management, "and it's now available to professionals working full time in the Sacramento region." Beginning in the fall of 1994, students in the working professional program will be able to take courses taught by professors with a wide variety of national business research and consulting experience. The program's structure gives students flexibility that allows them to move at their own pace and earn a M.B.A. degree in as few as two or as many as four or more years, and classes will be available in Sacramento as well as on the Davis campus. Students may concentrate in accounting, marketing, finance, health-care management, general management and information technology.
