Now more than ever, change is accelerating in our complex global marketplace, and technology plays a critical role. The mission of the UCLA John E. Anderson Graduate School of Management, which is consistently ranked among the best such schools in the nation, is to advance management thinking and prepare transformative leaders to make positive business and societal impacts. The school prepares its graduates to be forward thinkers who are adaptable and innovative problem solvers—fluent with technology and analytics—and who also have the soft skills to inspire others to make a positive difference, whether they are in the private, public, or not-for-profit sector.
Through its faculty, the school advances thought leadership by engaging in fundamental and cutting-edge research in all fields of management, and by educating scholars who can continue to create this new knowledge. The school also offers the business community a wide range of higher education programs and initiatives that promote state-of-the-art leadership in a variety of industries and fields.
Students come from diverse professional and educational backgrounds and seek equally diverse personal and professional goals. They graduate with a broad understanding of people and organizations and with a sound technical background in the economic and mathematical concepts of management planning and decision making.
The school offers seven programs leading to graduate degrees at the master's and doctoral levels. Each degree program is tailored to the experience level, knowledge, skillset, and career ambition of the students. These include a full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA), as well as three part-time MBA programs for working professionals including the Fully Employed MBA program for mid-level and emerging senior leaders, the Executive MBA program, and the UCLA-NUS Global Executive MBA program in partnership with the National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School, both designed for senior-level managers and executives. The school also offers a Master of Financial Engineering (MFE), a Master of Science (MS) in Business Analytics, and a PhD in Management (an MS degree may be earned in the process of completing PhD requirements). Certificate programs, including open enrollment and custom corporate programs, as well as research conferences and seminars for experienced managers, are offered through the Office of Executive Education.
The school also offers two undergraduate minors in Accounting and Entrepreneurship.
