The UC Davis Graduate School of Management (GSM) is a graduate business school at the University of California, Davis. Established in 1981, its degree programs include MBA, MPAc and MSBA.
The GSM offers Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees in three locations: The two-year, Full-Time MBA program is offered at the main campus in Davis. Two working professional programs are offered in Sacramento and San Ramon in the San Francisco Bay Area. The school also offers an Online MBA program with the same standards and credit hours as the in-person programs.[1]
The school's LEED Platinum certified facility, Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr. Hall, opened in September 2009.[2]
UC Davis undergraduates can minor in technology management or accounting. GSM's executive programs include the Wine Executive program, jointly managed with the Department of Viticulture & Enology.
The school's teaching model combines case study, experiential learning, lecture and team projects.
The in-person working professional programs are designed to be completed in three years, but may be "accelerated" to finish in two by taking additional classes.[3] The MBA degree requires completing 72 hours of credit (24 courses) with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better. MBA students at UC Davis may also seek to earn a joint degree such as a J.D./M.B.A., MBA/Doctor of Medicine (MD), MBA/Master of Science in Engineering (MSE), and MBA/Master of Science (MS) in Agricultural and Resource Economics.
MBA concentrations offered include: Accounting; Competitive Analytics and Technologies; Finance; Information Technology; General Management; Marketing; Technology Management; and Entrepreneurship. MBA specializations are offered in Agribusiness; Biotechnology; Corporate and Social Responsibility; Healthcare; High Tech; International Business; Non-Profit; Real Estate; Small Business; and Wine Industry.
The MBA curriculum is anchored by IMPACT,[4] a new, two-part capstone course designed to sharpen writing, speaking and critical-thinking abilities. IMPACT teams work on 10-week projects for clients ranging from multinational Fortune 500 firms to ultra-fast-paced Silicon Valley start-ups.
In 2012 UC Davis became the first University of California school to offer a master's degree in professional accountancy.[5] The MPAc program requires students to pass an examination after advancing to candidacy, and at the end of all coursework, in order to receive the degree.
With its inaugurating class in Fall of 2017, the school launched a master's degree in Business Analytics, at its UC Hastings extension campus in San Francisco.[6]
The Graduate School of Management began a 9-month MPAc (Master of Professional Accountancy) program in 2012.
