My experience in the Full-time MBA program was filled with resources and opportunities to develop my career path. After graduating from the program, I was able to land a job doing meaningful work, quickly earn a promotion, and begin a teaching career.

Alyssa Stump, MBA ’18

Best Buddies Int. Director

UCR's MBA program gave me the structure and the soft skills necessary to succeed in the workplace. The program taught me how to learn effectively in a fast-paced environment and how to navigate tricky situations. I would say that the MBA program was the foundation upon which I built the skill sets that make me successful in the workplace today.

Krishna Ganapathi, MBA ’16

Technical Program Manager, Google

During my time at AGSM, I really learned how to think with agility. During my first year, I was in transition personally and professionally. Through the help of my cohort and the wonderful faculty at AGSM, I was able to rediscover myself, build upon current skills, and apply my academic lessons and personal vision in a way that opened doors for me that I would have overlooked without this unique experience.
