Guided by four defining principles, the distinctiveBerkeley-Haas culture is integral to shaping its MBAstudents as they learn how to be innovative leaders.Berkeley-Haas students question the status quo, projectconfidence without attitude, think beyond themselves,and act as students always. These attributes combine tocreate an environment conducive to teamwork,collaboration, and involvement. Students are members ofa close-knit, supportive peer network that draws on bothshared experiences and a diversity of ideas andbackgrounds to build bonds that last a lifetime.
A Collaborative Culturecultivates a unique, dynamic community

Involvement in a Dynamic CommunityThe diverse and outgoing nature of the Berkeley-Haas culturetranslates to a vibrant, thriving community of fellow students,alumni, faculty, and staff. From networking mixers to annualconferences, guest speakers to intramural sports competitions,there’s always something happening here. At Haas, virtuallyeveryone gets involved in clubs and community service,managing major conferences, participating in internationalcase competitions, and organizing ski trips to nearby SierraNevada resorts.
