Eight interdisciplinary centers of research and excellence serve as forward-thinking intellectual hubs and provide a bridge between scholars, students, and industry professionals in specific areas of expertise: Center for Global Management (CGM); Center for Media, Entertainment, and Sports; Easton Technology Management Center; Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation; Laurence and Lori Fink Center for Finance; Morrison Center for Marketing and Data Analytics; UCLA Anderson Forecast; and Ziman Center for Real Estate. These centers conduct research and connect thought leadership to management practice, disseminate knowledge, and provide opportunities for students. Centers also advance the public service mission of the university by helping to prepare the next generation of global leaders to address societal challenges on a local, national, or international scale. Collectively, the centers provide the knowledge, training, frameworks, and real-world experience necessary to succeed and respond to society’s challenges.
A wide range of outreach programs—such as the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities; Leaders in Sustainability Certificate Program; Management Development for Entrepreneurs (MDE); Impact@Anderson; Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; and Riordan Programs—offer many teaching, research, and service resources to UCLA, Los Angeles, and beyond.
