The Evening & Weekend MBA Program at the Haas School of Business offers working professionals access to one of the finest management education degree programs in the world. It advances your career by preparing you to be a leader in any type of organization -- from a major multi-national company to a startup, a nonprofit, or a business of your own.

The program emphasizes Leading Through Innovation, which is a mindset you develop and perfect in the Berkeley MBA program. It is a way of thinking and a set of skills that you will apply to the organizations in your future. You will discover how to seize opportunities, and how to create and foster innovative working environments. The Haas School culture is all about fresh thinking and new ideas.

Your education is anchored in the fundamentals of management and the latest theories and best practices in business. You will have opportunities to further your career, or launch a new one, as the program works with you to achieve your professional goals.

You are welcomed into an incredibly talented, diverse, collaborative community -- one that will also become an invaluable, lifelong network. Berkeley MBA students possess confidence without attitude, and are distinguished by their strong desire to get involved and make the world a better place.

In addition, the two part-time schedules and the two San Francisco Bay Area locations of the Evening & Weekend MBA Program make it especially convenient for you to continue working full time while pursuing your education.

Preparing You for Leadership and an Unlimited Future

“I am already putting my experiences to work on the job.”Vidya Chadaga, MBA 09

Peer Coaching Strengthens Leadership SkillsDespite having more than enough on her plate, Vidya Chadaga was determined to

participate in Peers@Haas, the school’s ground-breaking leadership coaching program.

“It is so well-structured that it brings new awareness to everyone who participates.

Having lived in six countries and worked with many different people, I thought I knew

how to adapt and collaborate. Peers@Haas has shown me what I didn’t know about

accepting people for who they are. This was a hard lesson, but an invaluable one.”

“For me,” she says, “Peers@Haas has been powerful. I am already putting my experi-

ences to work on the job, and those lessons will always be part of my future.”

Chadaga compares her Haas experience to an Indian dish called “bhel puri,” a combi-

nation of many ingredients and spices. “The blend of core classes and the platter of

electives offered are amazing. There is just so much to digest.” She is focusing on mar-

keting and cites her Haas experience as critical to her move into product management

at Oracle, just three months after starting the program. “Haas really changes the way

you approach things in the corporate world. It enriches you as a leader and evolves

you as an innovator,” she says.

The Berkeley MBA Program is about developing leaders who possess a distinct advan-tage: the ability to lead using the power of innovation. At the Haas School, Leading Through Innovation is defined as a mindset and an array of capabilities that will enable you to pro-mote and foster environments where innovation flourishes. In acquiring this way of thinking and acting, you can become a leader of innovation. Because leadership and innovation are central to creating value in the global economy, these abilities will offer you a distinctive career advantage.

Leading Through Innovation is definitely not just about technology – although this is an important aspect of innovation. It is also about thinking of innovation from a strategic and organizational perspective.

Foundation for Leadership

and Innovation

As a Berkeley MBA student, you will be immersed in a rigorous, comprehensive curriculum in which you master the essential skills of management and lead-ership, from accounting and finance to marketing and strategy. You will build a basic framework in qualitative, analytical, strategic, and problem-solving skills.

A cutting-edge, required leadership course will develop your capacity to lead others by giving you an in-depth understanding of your own capabilities, based on 360-degree evaluations from managers, peers, and clients. You will also participate in experiential leadership exercises, read the latest advances on leadership, and discuss cases offered by

top leaders of organizations. By the end of the course, you will develop a custom-ized plan to elevate your own leadership potential by improving such skills as fos-tering creativity and mastering a flexible set of leadership styles.

And when the Leadership course con-cludes, you have the option of joining a structured, peer-coaching program designed to make you an even more effective leader of innovation. Called Peers@Haas and part of the Leading Through Innovation initiative, it starts by identifying one specific behavior that you want to change, and then asks fellow stu-dents and others to judge your progress toward improvement over the next year. “For me, Peers@Haas became a catalyst for putting plans into practice.” says Tejas Saraiya, MBA 08. “The program keeps your motivation level high by creating accountability and showing you that you’re not alone.”

Enriching Your Skill Set

Leading Through Innovation is supported by a series of experiential programs and executive skills seminars. Key among them is Haas@Work, a successful applied innovation program that sends teams of Berkeley MBA students to work with top executives at local firms. In the program, you research a compet-itive challenge posed by the firm and develop potential innovative solutions during a one-day, on-site workshop. Executives select the best solutions, and a core student team is then chosen to implement them. “It was eye-opening to realize that our best ideas emerged not from one individual, but out of the combination of input from everyone on the team,” says Luis Tong, MBA 08, who

participated in a project at a leading online travel firm. “It was a very rewarding teamwork experience.”

A series of optional executive skills seminars also helps you to fine-tune your leadership abilities. Recent speakers have included Srikumar Rao of Columbia University, who taught students how to manage ambiguity and uncertainty and to focus on challenging the status quo in the pursuit of dreams. Marshall Goldsmith, acclaimed author on effec-tive leadership, prepared students to be strong peer coaches in leadership.

Electives Support

Innovative Thinking

The Haas School has long been a leader of innovation, and its culture of indepen-dent thinking and fresh ideas actively supports it. Haas faculty members play a crucial role in creating this environment, which is reflected in their leading-edge elective courses. For example, Senior Lecturer Sara Beckman was one of the first business school faculty members in the world to pioneer the cross-disci-plinary study of product design in an elective. Her courses and others here prompted Businessweek to name Haas as one of the top design schools in the world in October 2006. In Professor Jennifer Aaker’s course, Creativity and Innovation in Marketing, the goal is to enhance the students’ ability to generate creative ideas, and not merely to evaluate ideas of others. Students in the Managing Innovation course draw from economic, organizational, and engineering perspec-tives to identify the sources of innovative ideas inside corporations.

busy professionals. At the time of appli-cation, you select your preference for an evening or a weekend class schedule, which the school is able to give you in most cases. Both schedule options include all required core courses and a selection of pertinent and popular electives. It is also possible to enroll in electives in the other schedule option. Classes are held in the fall and spring semesters, with other activities occurring year round.

Evening Schedule Option

Classes are held Monday through Thursday, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with a 45-minute break. As a first-year student you attend classes two nights each week, either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. Evening courses are held at the Haas School in Berkeley.

Weekend Schedule Option

Classes are held Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with two 15-minute class breaks and one 60-minute lunch break featuring a catered lunch. Weekend classes alternate between Berkeley and a Silicon Valley location. Easy access from freeways and airports makes the weekend option viable for students who live outside the San Francisco Bay Area.

Top-notch Student Facilities

As an Evening & Weekend MBA student, you are able to take advantage of all student facilities while on the Berkeley campus, including the business and economics library at the Haas School, other campus libraries, the computer center, and the career center. The Program Office is open in the evenings

Advance your career and accelerate your professional growth through the Evening & Weekend MBA Program at the Haas School of Business. The three-year part-time schedule makes it convenient to continue work while pursuing your education and expanding your network. The program features the same comprehensive management curriculum as the Full-time MBA Program, draws from the same Haas faculty pool, and offers leading-edge electives. You study on the UC Berkeley campus alongside other business students and, if you are a weekend student, also at a location in nearby Silicon Valley. Upon completion of the program, you’ll earn the prestigious Berkeley MBA degree, plus membership in the 30,000-strong Haas Alumni Network.

Accelerate Your Career

Careers and job performance get a real-time boost from the enriching academic experiences of the Evening & Weekend MBA Program. Learning becomes especially powerful when you can take the latest management theories and insights gained in the classroom and apply them directly to your own workplace. As you proceed through the program, you will be able to use your new skills and knowledge to advance in your career or even switch to a new profession.

Convenient Scheduling for

Busy Professionals

The Evening & Weekend MBA Program makes the academic experience as con-venient and accessible as possible for


and on Saturdays to serve you. You are also welcome to attend the many lec-tures and conferences available at the Haas School and to participate in any academic, professional, and social events sponsored by MBA student organiza-tions, as your schedule allows.

Making Life Easier

• All class registration is done through the Evening & Weekend MBA Program Office.

• Books and course materials are given to students on the first day of class. The cost of these materials is included in the program’s tuition.

• Free parking is provided for students who drive to campus or the program’s Silicon Valley facility.

Program Overview

The Bay Area’s Leading Management Program

for Working Professionals

Mastering the FundamentalsEven with a solid background in finance, Paul Lee says that, after two years in the Haas

Evening & Weekend MBA Program, he understands concepts at a much deeper level. “My

knowledge base is so much broader. The core classes really rounded out and complemented

my skill set.”

Paul puts his newfound knowledge to work on the job. “I use the skills I learned in

Professor Anderson’s Negotiations class every day with clients and in my personal life.

And now that I’ve taken Behavioral Finance with Professor Odean, I recognize some of the

behavior I’ve seen among clients. Being able to understand these things is really amazing

and immediately relevant.”

Paul’s involvement with the Finance, Marketing, and Consulting Clubs, and his participa-

tion in case competitions, give him other opportunities to put his class work into practice.

“The competitions are fun and exciting. You have to adapt constantly to the team dynamic

and leverage everyone’s strengths and weaknesses.”

That collaborative environment is one of the things Paul likes best about Haas. “We all are

trying to take each other to the next level,” he says.

In his third year, Paul hopes to join the International Business Development program in

Brazil over winter break. “I did a project on Brazil in my first-year Macroeconomics class,”

he recalls. “Being able to go there and see how things work on the ground will really tie it

together. Having the opportunity to do that is a real advantage at Haas.”

A Top-ranked ProgramU.S. News & World Report ranked the Evening & Weekend MBA Program at the Haas School of Business #5 nationally for 2008.

While at Haas, Vikas Mathur found him-

self being drawn towards management

consulting, as it promised him exposure

to a wide range of industries and assign-

ments. “During my second year, I spent

countless hours using the resources

provided by the career center to analyze

my strengths and interests to find the

right field in which to build a career,”

says Mathur.

“Being able to make the transition

from engineering into management

consulting was like a dream come true

for me. Teaching and guidance from

distinguished faculty, constructive

feedback from my fellow students, and

strong support from the career center

was pivotal.”

Preparing for a Civilian Career“Haas offers everything I need to prepare myself for a business career after the Navy,” says

Melissa Hiler. As a helicopter pilot in the Arabian Gulf, Hiler had to make quick decisions

under pressure for her crew. During the academic year, Hiler teaches future Naval officers

at UC Berkeley, and this summer, she worked as a summer associate in investment bank-

ing at Credit Suisse in New York City.

“It’s great that Evening & Weekend MBA students are able to do summer internships,” she

says. “It is an invaluable opportunity to put what I learned in my finance classes to work

when observing people in real-world trading situations. And I certainly am performing on

the same level as the interns who are in full-time MBA programs.”

She also expects that her internship will influence her choice of electives in her final year

of study. “I’m looking forward to digging into the theoretical side of work that I’ve already

experienced on the job.” Having come to business school with virtually no background

in finance, Hiler considers her success as a summer associate a real indication of how far

she’s come during her time at Haas.

Career Opportunities

New Skills, New Network, New Possibilities

To pursue a Berkeley MBA degree is to acquire the knowledge, network, and sup-port system to move forward in your career. Evening & Weekend MBA graduates use their new skills and connections in a variety of ways: to advance to senior positions within their current organizations, to transition to a new specialty (from engineering to marketing, for example), to move to a new industry, and to launch their own enterprises.

As soon as you begin study in the Evening & Weekend MBA Program, you lay the groundwork for career advance-ment. You gain skills in strategy, analysis, and leadership and engage in the daily practice of these in your own workplace. “The Haas program allowed me to build a broad, business foundation through the core classes, then to customize the curriculum through electives,” says Tom Ngo, MBA 06, and vice president and program manager at Wells Fargo Bank. “I tailored my selection of courses to focus on mar-keting and finance, both of which have become increasingly critical to my success in the workplace.”

Your Berkeley MBA studies also connect you with the accomplished community that will form a lifelong career network. Some of your fellow students have experience launching entrepreneurial ventures. Some work in the industry to which you aspire, and some may even be well connected at your current company.

Career Services Support

MBA Career Services supports career advancement and career change by giving students in the Evening & Weekend MBA Program access to the same services as full-time MBA students, such as unlimited advising, on-campus recruiting, and hundreds of job post-ings. The Evening & Weekend MBA Career Services team also tailors services specifically to meet the needs of working professionals, with such offerings as webinars and career fairs exclusively for mid- to high-level professionals.

“Whether you are looking for career advancement or a career switch, Haas has programs to target both,” says Abby Scott, executive director of MBA Career Services.

Individual Consultation

Experienced and dedicated career advisors are available to assist you with defining career goals. Praised by students for their astute expertise, energy, and desire to help, Haas career advisors are available by phone, as well as in person.

Workshops & Webinars

Career planning tools are available when-ever you need them, through webinars and archived seminars.

Resumé Database

The Berkeley MBA Experienced Hire Resumé Database provides you with a convenient and confidential means to introduce yourself to recruiters from top firms in numerous industries.

Directed Job Search Teams

Career Services also offers six-week directed job search teams facilitated

by an experienced job coach. Students share leads and ideas and hold each other accountable for progress through weekly phone check-ins. One recent participant said, “The team helped me focus and drive my job search. At the end of six weeks, I had a fully updated and honed resumé and pitch -- and an interview with a target company.”

Job Boards

You have access to hundreds of job postings targeting Berkeley MBA students and alumni.

Firm Nights & Career Fairs

Firm nights are club-sponsored net-working events for MBA students inter-ested in exploring particular industries.

Career fairs connect MBA students and alumni directly with recruiters from such companies as Hewlett-Packard, Kaiser Permanente, Visa, and Apple. You may also host a table to recruit for your own company or invite your employer to recruit at these events.

On-Campus Recruiting

Graduating Evening & Weekend MBA students who have completed the required training and deliverables may participate in On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) for full-time positions. Students in their second year may participate in OCR for summer internships if they are unemployed.

Haas Alumni Career Services

Alumni may use career management services throughout their careers. Haas Career Services publishes exclusive job postings targeting Haas alumni, offers webinars, and provides individual career advising for alumni worldwide.

Spotting Legal Issues with a Business EyeAs an attorney for an international pharmaceutical firm, Joi True knows firsthand

that legal and business issues are becoming ever more intertwined. “To do my job as

a lawyer well, I need to understand the business – as well as the legal – issues that

arise in my work.” Her Haas experience is giving her a new set of skills and strategies

for resolving those issues. “When I go to a presentation on Roche’s financial perfor-

mance, I can understand it more deeply, so I’m better at anticipating issues and

asking the right questions.”

True enjoys the collaborative nature of her work with classmates and learns from

exposure to their diverse thinking styles, while she contributes her knowledge of

the law and a legal perspective. “The caliber of students at Haas is its biggest selling

point,” she says. “Their real-life experience helps bring classroom theory alive. They

offer examples of the subjects and problems we are studying and can give practical

advice, often beyond what is contained in the class materials.”

As for juggling life, law, and a new world of numbers, she says, “You just need to

manage your time a little. I ran a marathon during my first year in the program – so it

can be done. You can work, train and get your MBA! ”

Shaping Leaders and Innovative Thinkers


In the Berkeley MBA Program, you will experience a rigorous, comprehensive curriculum in which you master the essential skills of management and leadership, from accounting and finance to marketing and strategy. You build a basic framework in qualita-tive, analytical, strategic, and problem solving skills. A required experiential leadership course builds your capacity to lead others.

Moreover, the broad-based Berkeley MBA curriculum emphasizes creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking. You gain the knowledge and skills to bring new ideas, fresh thinking, and positive change to any kind of organization.

Pioneering Research

Enhances Your Learning

The Berkeley MBA program is for indi-viduals who like to think deeply and expand their understanding of the world. All Haas School courses are rooted in the scientific disciplines of the university – economics, mathematics, social sciences such as psychology and sociology, and other areas. Faculty members who are experts in these fields apply them toward

increasing knowledge of successful man-agement, leadership, human behavior, how organizations work, and how the economy and markets function. As a result, you not only gain knowledge about best business practices, but also learn about the fundamental principles behind them – the “how” and the “why.”

Cohort System Builds

Your Network

Each fall, the program admits four cohorts of approximately 60 students each into the Evening & Weekend MBA Program: two cohorts are made up of eve-ning students and two consist of weekend students. The personal and professional contacts developed within these cohorts become strong networks for your profes-sional life after graduation.

Degree Requirements

The Berkeley MBA degree is awarded to Evening & Weekend students who have maintained a minimum cumula-tive grade point average of 3.0 (B) and completed:• New Student Orientation (required)• The Mid-Program Academic Retreat (1 unit)• Ten required core courses (17 units)• 24 units of elective coursework• A total of 42 semester units of coursework• The writing requirement (demonstrated ability to write effectively in a business setting)

The program is designed to be com-pleted in six semesters (or about 3 years). However, you may complete the program in as few as five semesters, or extend your program beyond six semesters, with approval from the Program Office. Students typically enroll in two courses in each semester.

last a lifetime. “The spirited debates over case studies whetted everyone’s appetite for future class discussions,” says Melissa Selcher, MBA 07. “As I left orientation, I was convinced my mind would be stretched in new ways – and I found that notion exhilarating.”

The Mid-Program Academic Retreat

(MPAR)

The core curriculum culminates with an academic retreat where you demon-strate the knowledge acquired in your first year of study and prepare for more in-depth learning in elective courses. The retreat takes place at the midpoint of the second year and is an intense weekend of off-campus team competi-tion and camaraderie.

“I returned charged up for the new classes that would wrap up my second year,” says Gareth Hancock, MBA 06. The weekend is built around a major case study and computer simulation that integrates all of the material from the core courses. Hancock notes, “Two years earlier I wouldn’t have under-stood much from the lectures or how to approach the simulation decisions, but I now had a new way of thinking about business and economics.”

The session is also an opportunity to spend leisure time with classmates in a recreational setting. “With good food, engaging activities, and even a bonfire beach party, we quickly forgot about debt ratios and market shares and just relaxed with great friends,” says Hancock. “There’s no doubt MPAR will remain a highlight in the midst of a challenging and worthwhile Haas education.”

The Evening & Weekend MBA core courses are:

• Microeconomics

• Organizational Behavior

• Financial Accounting

• Marketing

• Finance

• Operations Management

• Macroeconomics

• Leadership Communications

• Ethics and Responsibility in Business

• Leadership

Preparing to Learn: Case Study

and Camaraderie

The core curriculum at Haas begins with a new student orientation and concludes with an academic retreat. These required off-campus events use a format that is lively and intense to introduce you to Haas and to prepare you for the next phase of your MBA education.

New Student Orientation

You’ll get to know other new students and gain a sense of what the classroom experience will hold – as well as have fun – at the mandatory weekend orientation for incoming Evening & Weekend MBA students. Held every August near the Berkeley campus, the orientation features team-building exercises and lectures and workshops on special topics.

As an introduction to the case study method that will feature prominently in your coursework at Haas, you will tackle real-life and hypothetical business challenges from various companies. You will also begin to build relationships with your fellow classmates that will



The Core: A Foundation for Leadership

The Berkeley MBA cur-riculum is anchored by ten required core courses that build upon one another and provide the analytical tools and essential knowledge to lead effectively. “The core curriculum has provided me with a whole new lens through which I can view the world,” says Preston Smalley, MBA 08. “As I hear financial news, discuss business strategy, or view team dynamics, I have a whole new set of tools and perspectives which I can use.”

Dion Harris, MBA 07, agrees. “I’ve gained a well-rounded under-standing of key business challenges and solutions that I can apply in my day-to-day course of business.”

As you progress through the core curriculum, you begin to understand how markets work and how to increase organizational effectiveness and motivate a diverse workforce. You gain experience in planning market strategies based on your own analyses of market structure and consumer behavior. You learn to prepare balance sheets and income and cash flow statements and to apply these tools to key financial decisions. And you begin to strengthen your leadership skills.

All ten core courses are taken in the first year. The first two semesters are each divided into half-semesters. Core courses are 1 or 2 units.

Students team up on case studies and enjoy camaraderie at the Mid-Program Academic Retreat (MPAR). Held near Santa Cruz, California, the MPAR weekend is the culmina-tion of core learning and a launch into deeper study through elective coursework.

Path to Leadership What will eBay users need next? Preston Smalley and his design team ask that question to

help eBay move into new markets and improve customers’ experiences.

And when Smalley asked himself what he would need next in his career, he decided on the

Berkeley MBA. “I wanted to learn the skills and strategies I would need to lead a successful

customer-facing technology company or even to found a company of my own someday,”

he says.

Studying at Haas has already helped Smalley’s career by signaling that he is ready and will-

ing to take on more responsibility in his company. “During a recent reorganization, I was

considered for several leadership positions—and, when I got one of those roles, I was well

prepared to take it on,” he says.

“The Haas core curriculum has provided me with a whole new lens through which I can

view the world and is helping me sharpen my focus on innovation and business strategy

so that I can influence those parts of the business that eBay is seeking to grow.” For exam-

ple, in Assistant Professor Waverly Ding’s class on Organizational Behavior, Smalley and

fellow students examined how well eBay’s San Jose and Shanghai offices were working

together. eBay has already implemented the recommendations that emerged from this

class project.

At Haas, innova-tive theory and real-world experience combine to provide elective courses that reflect the newest ideas, trends, and thinking in business. In class, for example, students have met chal-lenges such as creating Intel’s site selection strategy for expansion into China, as part of the International Business elective.

In addition to deepening your knowl-edge in traditional fields such as accounting, finance, and marketing, electives keep you current in such pop-ular subjects as entrepreneurship, real estate, the management of technology, and biotechnology.

Life in the MBA Programby Kim Anderson, MBA 07Monday: I’m in the office by 6:00 a.m.

to check the news before the market

opens. I spend the morning talking

through favorite stock picks and walking

through earnings models with clients.

After the market closes, I exchange

e-mails with my International Finance

study group and take one last read

through our case study on international

joint ventures. After dinner with my fian-

cé, I sit down to work on homework for

Taxes & Firm Strategy before heading to

bed by 9:00 p.m.

Tuesday: I get

into the office by

4:00 a.m. to talk

with our sales force

in New York. After

spending the day

talking to clients, I

finish reading about

foreign exchange

hedging and hit the

road by 4:30 p.m. to

head to Berkeley for

International

Finance, one of my

favorite classes. We

have two guest

speakers in class

tonight, both invest-

ment bankers

focused on interna-

tional transactions, who engage my

classmates and me in a fascinating and

interactive discussion. After class, I head

home to San Francisco.

Wednesday: I spend the morning

talking with clients and finishing up

a report, then take one final glance

through my Taxes & Firm Strategy

homework before heading over the Bay

Bridge in the late afternoon. I catch a

bite for dinner on campus with some

classmates and head to my tax class,

where we talk about the requirements

for a tax-free merger and apply it to a

case study.

Thursday: I head down to Silicon

Valley with my manager and several

buy-side clients to meet with senior

management at one of the companies

we cover. I write up a summary of the

meeting and then head home by 6:00

p.m. After walking the dog and cooking

dinner with my fiancé, I sit down to read

my International Finance case, ponder-

ing the project finance challenges of the

Three Gorges Dam in China.

Friday: After a work day spent analyz-

ing market share trends and catching

up on industry news, I dial into my

International Finance group’s weekly

call to discuss the Three Gorges Dam

case. We come to a consensus, then

divide the questions between the three

of us, and agree to another call Saturday

afternoon. I head home by 7:00 p.m. to

eat dinner and relax.

The Weekend: In between writing

up my case for International Finance,

participating in a class conference call,

and reading for my tax class, I make the

most of my free time by taking a walk in

Golden Gate Park and sailing on the Bay.

The World is the Classroom

The need to think and compete glob-ally has become an imperative. The Haas School prepares you to take an international approach to business through courses, special programs, international travel experiences, club activities, and a research center that focuses on the international business environment.

Travel opportunities include the Seminar in International Business taught by Sebastian Teunissen, execu-tive director of the Haas School’s Clausen Center for International Business and Policy. Seminar students spend one to two weeks delving into contrasting economies overseas and taking in the culture, history, and busi-ness environments of the places they visit.

In 2007, different groups of Evening & Weekend students visited Brazil, Chile, India, China, and South Africa. One group went to Beijing and Shanghai and met with executives from Haidian Science Park (China’s Silicon Valley), the Olympic Games Organizing Committee, various manufacturing companies, and the celebrated Chinese-American restau-rateur George Chen. Another group went to Chile and visited wineries in Santiago, the Banco Central de Chile, Agrosuper Alimenta Rancagua (a major food producer), Codelco El Teniente (the largest underground mine in the world), and went on a side trip to Easter Island.

If you desire a more in-depth inter-national experience, you may spend a semester abroad as an exchange student, choosing from a select list of leading business schools in Europe and Asia.

In addition, the Clausen Center awards fellowships every year for stu-dents to attend the summer Interstate Programme in Brussels, a nonprofit venture that brings together future busi-ness leaders to analyze developments in the European Union and its relations with the United States.

Several student-run clubs focus on international business issues, such as the European Business Club, Latin American and Hispanic Business Association, and the South Asian Business Association. The Berkeley Asia Business Conference looks at business trends affecting technology and trade in the Pacific Rim.



Expertise in Entrepreneurship and Global Management

Taking Entrepreneurship to the Next LevelThe sometimes precarious balance of risk and reward inherent in entrepreneurial settings

appeals to Raghu Belur. With two startups to his credit, and extensive academic and pro-

fessional experience in engineering, he knew he needed business management skills to

take his current company to the next level. “Haas is giving me the skills and insights I need

to make the right decisions regarding risks. I use what I learn in class every day on the job,”

he says. “Haas is teaching me to look beyond product development to the broader idea of

business development, and all of the factors necessary for success.”

Calling his first year of core classes “a total immersion experience,” Belur nonetheless

believes it brought out the best in him and his classmates. “Everyone here has a sense of

purpose. We all are here for a reason and we are pursuing it with dedication. Haas students

seem to be a notch above those at other business schools in many ways.” He includes his

wife, who is also his classmate, in that description.

Belur credits the Entrepreneurship Club for giving him ready access to venture capitalists,

successful entrepreneurs and others for advice and mentoring. “It’s easy,” he says, “to get

20 minutes with them to present an idea and get valuable insights and critiques. The Haas

connections in Silicon Valley are deep and very important.”

Where Entrepreneurship

is a Team Sport

As an ever-changing business climate reveals new opportuni-ties for savvy entrepreneurs, the Evening & Weekend MBA Program offers you the skills and knowledge to launch your own high-potential enterprises.

Haas was one of the first busi-ness schools in the nation to offer courses in entrepreneur-ship and business creation.

Among the faculty are real-world authorities such as lecturer David Charron, a serial entrepreneur and founder of several companies, including publicly-traded Scientific Learning Corporation.

The locus of entrepreneurial activities at the Haas School is the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Among the center’s activities are two nationally prominent business plan competitions, both founded by Berkeley MBA students: The UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition, which is among the top university competitions in the nation for quantity of prize money and participation by Silicon Valley venture capitalists; and the Global Social Venture Competition for aspiring entrepreneurs who offer solutions to social and environmental problems while demonstrating a healthy business model. The center also offers the Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum, an evening lecture series with venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders.

Evening & Weekend MBA students can participate in the Haas School’s Seminar in International Business during semester breaks. In 2007, students who visited China (pictured above on the Great Wall) met with government and business leaders in Beijing and Shanghai.

In 2006, one group of students traveled to Chile, visiting major banks and corporations, includ-ing copper producer Codelco El Teniente, the world’s largest underground mine.

“The Haas connections in Silicon Valley are deep and very important.”Raghu Belur, MBA 09

Tops in Technology

In recognition of the pervasive impact of technology on business, the Berkeley MBA program emphasizes the study of technology through its curriculum and through a variety of special programs. Popular electives explore technology and its effects, including High Technology Marketing Management, Customer (and Business) Development in High-Tech Enterprise, Biotechnology, and Managing Innovation and Change. Faculty members, such as Professor Henry Chesbrough, who authored two leading books on innovation, are influential researchers in the area of technology and business.

At Haas, much of this scholarly effort takes place within the Fisher Center for the Strategic Use of Information Technology, which supports inquiry into areas such as marketing, supply chain management, and e-commerce. Many of the research efforts of faculty are spun off regularly into new courses – a key benefit of a research-oriented business school.


Strength in Technology and Real Estate

The Haas School’s proximity to Silicon Valley strengthens connections to the high-tech community. Faculty members frequently invite local executives to be guest lecturers in their courses and to partner with them in research projects. Numerous student groups with a focus on technology thrive on campus: the Haas Healthcare and BioBusiness Club, Berkeley Nanotechnology Club, Digital Media & Entertainment Club, and the Haas Technology Club. These groups organize career-oriented activities with local firms and host special events, such as the Digital Media Conference and the Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum. Both conferences feature leading scientists, executives, entrepreneurs, and academics, as well as provide forums to showcase potential startups and new technologies.

Many Evening & Weekend MBA stu-dents at the Haas School of Business already work in the heart of the biotech and high-tech industries. As Berkeley MBA students, they are able to broaden their understanding of how technology companies work, while students from other sectors learn how technology redefines traditional roles in any type of organization.


Top-Ranked

Real Estate Program

Consistently ranked among the nation’s top three programs, the Real Estate Program at the Haas School combines a strong analytical focus with hands-on field experience. A nationally recognized real estate research program at the Haas School ensures that the latest ideas and knowledge infuse the MBA courses.

The Introduction to Real Estate course includes study of the financial and economic theory of residential and nonresidential real estate mar-kets, mortgage creating institutions, alternative mortgage instruments, and REITS. Additional courses have included Real Estate Financing, which explores the operation of the US mortgage and structured finance markets, and Real Estate Investment, a case-based course developing real estate management decision-making skills.

Berkeley MBA students con-nected with key players in digi-tal media at the school’s annual >play conference. The fall 2006 digital media event was organized by Berkeley MBA students and featured Yahoo! Senior Vice President Marco Borries as its keynote speaker.

Game Theory Expert Helps Students Hone Strategy SkillsHaas School Professor John Morgan’s course on game

theory offers students a puzzling experience. The

course challenges students to formulate strategy by

learning to forecast the reactions of rivals.

“My teaching style is conversational, exploratory, and

interactive,” says Morgan, whose in-class experiments

call upon students to develop strategies for everyone

from OPEC nations to NBA teams. He has found that

students respond to the interactivity of his classes, as

well as the accountability: Answer a question in class

and a follow-up “Why?” from Morgan is sure to follow.

This enthusiasm for inquiry has led to Morgan’s role as

a founding director of Xlab, UC Berkeley’s laboratory for

economic experiments, and to such noteworthy research

as his work on eBay auction pricing, which showed online sellers how to boost profits. Game

Theory students got an early look at Morgan’s research through a lecture on auctions and an

in-class experiment on online pricing.

Company Representation

Creative, resourceful, intelligent, energetic, entrepreneurial, and, above all, highly motivated to make things happen: all of these are hallmarks of Berkeley MBA students. With an average of over eight years of post-baccalaureate work experience, Evening & Weekend MBA students have already achieved significant success in their careers. Some have founded companies, while others are on the corporate fast track. And Evening & Weekend MBA students are very adept at juggling busy schedules and balancing work, school, and family responsibilities.

You will quickly discover that among the school’s greatest assets are fellow students, who form a network of friends and professional contacts for a lifetime. Because they are diverse and unique as individuals, Berkeley MBA students as a

group contribute to the wealth of their classmates’ experience while in school, and add great value to one another as fellow alumni in future endeavors around the world. The relatively small size of the Evening & Weekend MBA Program permits students to get to know most members of their class – strong connections develop between faculty and students, and among students.

While different from one another in many ways, Berkeley MBA students are similar in outlook. They share a deep commitment to learning, high aspira-tions for success in their careers, and the desire to make a real difference in the business and world communities. The cooperative, team-oriented culture teaches the lessons of working success-fully with others to achieve objectives – a powerful and necessary skill in today’s complex, fast-paced business environment.

Putting Haas Skills to Work at Chevron“I just love the Berkeley atmosphere and the camaraderie

among the students. In some ways, it reminds me of the Chevron

culture, which is very open and sharing too,” says Ritu Pathak,

who used her Berkeley MBA experience to make a career move

within Chevron from technology into global marketing.

She is one of several Chevron staff members enrolled in the Haas

School’s Evening & Weekend MBA Program. They credit their

studies with broadening their career horizons and adding depth

to their approach to business.

“Thanks to my classes, when I am drafting an agreement—say

for the launch of a new service—I have much more insight into

the business drivers and the issues that will be important to the

company,” says Eliane Setton.

Anita Balaraman, a toxicologist with a public health background,

says she is “impressed by the caliber of Berkeley MBA students.

Having classmates who have worked in ad agencies or nonprof-

its is part of the education experience. Everyone shares knowl-

edge so freely.”

Onyinye Ebo finds herself more confident in seeking out new

connections at Chevron after completing her core classes.

“People’s ears perk up when they hear that I’m in the Berkeley

MBA program. It has great credibility.”

Says Ed Lai, “The emphasis on leadership and innovation at Haas

is the perfect preparation for working in companies in transition

like Chevron. We have to learn to execute change quickly and to

be receptive to new ideas. My MBA studies have helped me bet-

ter understand how to do those things on the job.”

Learning in a Supportive Environment“As an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, I had the opportunity to take a number of courses

at the Haas School of Business, so I knew that Haas faculty would provide a challenging

yet supportive environment to further my personal and professional growth,” says Dion

Harris. That support has come from all sides, according to Harris. “At Haas, everyone from

professors and program staff to fellow students and family wants to see you succeed.”

Inspired by the encouragement he received as a student, Harris has reached out to help

others achieve their goals. Through the Young Entrepreneurs at Haas (YEAH) program,

Harris mentored high school students in business skills. “It’s extremely gratifying to

see young people invest in their futures and to know that the Haas community extends

beyond the UC Berkeley campus,” he says.

Just for Evening &

Weekend Students

The Haas School plans a number of activities exclusively for Evening & Weekend MBA students:

Catered Meals

Meet fellow Evening & Weekend students, faculty, and staff at a series of meals hosted by the Evening & Weekend MBA Program.

Dean’s Dinner

Spend quality time with the Dean in a small-group setting. Held once or twice each semester.

Town Hall Meetings

Receive updates on the program and the school, including strategic plan-ning, from the Associate Dean for Instruction. Held once each semester.

Student Happy Hours

Network with your fellow students at happy hours hosted by the EWMBAA. Held several times each semester, these informal get-togethers include an end-of-year party held at a private venue.

Community Service

Give back to your community through fund-raising and other public service activities. Past events include meal preparation for the homeless at Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco, sup-port of the Environmental Youth Quest conference for teens in Marin County, and running in the Multiple Myeloma Race for Research.

Active, Engaged, and Involved


A business school is funda-mentally about people and the community they form. The Berkeley MBA Program offers a wide array of activities to bring students together and forge lasting relation-ships. To accommodate the schedules of Evening & Weekend MBA students, many activities take place during the eve-ning dinner break or the weekend lunch break so that all students can participate.

MBA Student Groups

The student-run Evening & Weekend MBA Association (EWMBAA) coor-dinates events tailored specifically to evening and weekend students. As your schedule permits, you can also partici-pate in MBA student clubs and com-munity service. Student groups organize major conferences, put together panels of executives on a variety of topics, and assemble ski trips to the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains. Berkeley MBA stu-dents also make a difference in the com-munity through volunteer efforts such as fund-raising and outreach, recognized by the Haas Community Fellows program.

Conferences on Campus

Students host a number of conferences throughout the year, bringing together leading experts to explore everything from digital media and business in Asia to women in leadership. For example, the annual Women in Leadership Conference attracts over 400 partici-pants interested in understanding the wide variety of career options and life-style choices available to women today, through panel discussions, a networking lunch, and professional skills develop-ment workshops.

Haas Lectures and Seminars

Research centers and MBA clubs fre-quently invite corporate executives and other leaders on campus to speak about trends in their industries. These events include the Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum and other lecture series on topics such as marketing and the management of technology.

Study Tours

Various student groups organize field visits for first-hand experience. For example, the Finance Club visits Wall Street and the Haas Technology Club makes day-long “tech treks” to local com-panies, such as Adobe and Apple. The Digital Media & Entertainment Club travels to Southern California to meet with such companies as Disney, and the Pacific Rim Club organizes an annual trip to Asia or Latin America over the winter break.

From Technical Success to Taking the HelmEven though he had the tools to become a technical success in Silicon Valley – a bachelor’s

degree in electronics engineering and a master’s degree in computer science – Shantanu

Narayen thought he needed to beef up his business knowledge. “It was clear I needed to

round out some of my entrepreneurial genes with a business education.” So in 1991, the then

Apple Computer Inc. manager decided to attend evening classes to pursue a Berkeley MBA.

Narayen says he learned not only how to apply his engineering knowledge to running a

business, but also savored the interaction with his fellow students and instructors. After

Apple, Narayen served as director of desktop and collaboration products for Silicon

Graphics, then co-founded Pictra Inc., a company that pioneered the concept of digital

photo sharing over the Internet.

Narayen joined Adobe in 1998 as a senior VP of worldwide product research, was later

promoted to executive vice president of worldwide products, and appointed to his current

post in January 2005 at the age of 41. He defines his professional success as being able

to capitalize on the opportunities Adobe provides and says of his Berkeley MBA, “It gives a

very broad perspective on business – and a tremendous amount of confidence.”

Blending Business Experience, Personal PassionsWithin weeks of beginning her Berkeley MBA studies, Brooke Golden launched a new

career with Clif Bar. For Golden, the synergy was ideal. She was building her business skills

while beginning work with a highly successful consumer products company. And, she was

studying at Haas, a school she was drawn to “for its work in corporate social responsibility,”

while working at a company she admired for socially responsible business practices.

“I had worked in advertising, creative services, international marketing, and the nonprofit

sector,” says Golden. “I wanted to thread together all these experiences, develop my

business skills, and explore future career paths. The more research I did, the more Haas

resonated with my career goals, my professional background, and my personal passions.”

Golden applies her expanding business savvy to her role as consumer marketing manager

for LUNA, Clif Bar’s nutrition bar for women, and as director of the company’s LUNAFEST,

a traveling film festival raising money for The Breast Cancer Fund and local nonprofit orga-

nizations supporting women.

How has she managed these multiple responsibilities? Golden credits her courses and her

classmates. “By challenging us to think outside our comfort zones, the Haas curriculum

and learning environment foster creativity and innovation.” She has also found the insights

and camaraderie of her fellow students exceptionally valuable. “There is nothing like shar-

ing this experience with 60 fellow cohort members,” she says. “Working in teams with

people who have such different perspectives, communication styles, and professional

experience is tremendously helpful for problem solving and has made me a better listener,

mediator, and leader.”

Shuttles Ease the Commute

To ease the commute for evening students, the Haas School operates two shuttle buses from the South Bay and Peninsula. The ride gives students additional opportunities to network while going to and from school.

Milind Kulkarni, MBA 08, a product manag-er at Cisco Systems in San Jose, is a shuttle regular. “The shuttle ride is power packed,” says Kulkarni. “It provides a great oppor-tunity to interact and bond with fellow students, catch-up on reading, and work on group projects. I can avoid the rush-hour drive to Haas and sometimes steal a quick nap to help conquer long days.”

From the Dean

The Haas School of Business is the kind of place that sets

minds alight, and sets lives on a brighter course. That is cer-

tainly true of the Berkeley Evening & Weekend MBA Program.

I encourage you to learn more about its benefits for your future

career success.

You will soon discover that the Haas School is about the

independent and innovative thinking that differentiates UC

Berkeley from others. Through the path-breaking research

and teaching of our faculty, and the pioneering activities and leadership of our stu-

dents and alumni, Haas plays an integral role in creating world-changing innovations.

Moreover, our school expects and achieves excellence in its pursuit of new ideas and

best practices.

We ensure that the Evening & Weekend MBA Program offers the same great MBA

degree as our full-time program, with the same outstanding curriculum, faculty, and

alumni network.

As a relatively small program, the Berkeley MBA is about community, and the kind of

esprit de corps that this fosters. As a Berkeley MBA student, you will become an essen-

tial part of a community that values diversity. Our students are particularly well oriented

to adding value in team-based, collaborative ways, with a community spirit that is so

much a part of the Berkeley tradition. And finally, our students possess confidence

without attitude – a real asset for success.

Haas is also a business school with large and growing momentum. We are at a strategic

crossroads, and have set a course to build upon our reputation for quality and leader-

ship among the world’s very top business schools. For example, we are significantly

expanding the size of our faculty, and planning for a new, additional building. This is a

school that is proactively increasing its reach and its excellence – striving to make a

greater, positive impact on business and society. It is an exciting time to be here.

Please visit us to meet the faculty, students, and staff, and sample what we have

to offer.

With Kind Regards,

Tom Campbell

Bank of America Dean and Professor
