EWMBA @ Haas

Experience during the program

The EWMBA program at Berkeley, Haas has it pluses and minuses. The location of the school is great, alumni network is strong, and the school lends itself to Entrepreneurship well. However there are a few factors that could do with some improvement.
1. Course options for weekenders: This is a relatively small group of classes and there is a strong need to diversify if the school wants to continue attracting strong candidates over the weekend. Other options like Booth, Kellogg, UCLA etc provide strong competition.
2. The student pool is very strong, with experienced individuals with solid backgrounds. However a little diversity in the class would help.
3. On campus recruiting could take some help as well. Currently the school caters heavily to fresh grad jobs. and there arent a lot of opportunities for the experienced candidate pool the EWMBA program attracts.

Having said that, students are great and down to earth, and most of the professors are awesome. The alumni network is huge, and the program has been consistently ranked number 1. So definite pluses there.
