Daytime MBA

The UC Davis Graduate School of Management seeks candidates with the potential to become innovative leaders for global impact. Potential students have impressive records of achievement and the promise to accomplish much more.

Our Admissions Committee selects applicants whose demonstrated leadership, intellectual capacity, global perspective, academic background and professional experience have prepared them to meet the challenging demands of our MBA program and a successful career. Admission is based on your work experience, academic record, GMAT or GRE performance, personal essays and recommendations.

Our students come from diverse professional and academic backgrounds. Full-time professional experience is considered valuable but is not required for admission. Both entry-level and mid-career applicants are welcome.

No particular area of undergraduate preparation is required. Although the program has no specific subject prerequisites, we suggest introductory coursework in accounting, calculus, economics and statistics.
