Description
Preparing you to become the kind of leader that businesses now demand is one of the main goals of the Paul Merage School of Business. Our visionary curriculum will teach you how to analyze business problems and encourage you to think of innovative solutions. At the Merage School we will help you develop core business skills while giving you broad exposure to global business trends, international cultures and successful business mentors.
We know that business fundamentals such as accounting, finance, marketing, operations and strategy are all important, and a Merage MBA helps you excel in these areas. But in today’s corporate environment, these skills alone will not set you apart. At the Merage School, you have plenty of opportunities for translating knowledge into action through experiential learning. The MBA field project, and the business plan competition are two of the ways our students can begin applying their knowledge outside the classroom.
Our learning environment, like the entrepreneurial businesses that surround it, is highly collaborative and focuses on the critical elements that have transformed the world of business – strategic innovation, information technology and analytic decision making. This collaborative environment sparks innovation and prepares students for the dynamic organizational challenges of leading companies and industries. You will partner with corporate executives, faculty experts, the administration and the dean to create connections that will build your knowledge and foster your confidence, leadership and interpersonal skills. You will build a strong working relationship with your career advisor as you develop and explore your career goals. At Merage, you are more than just a number.
UC Irvine’s Orange County location puts our campus in the center of Southern California’s Tech Coast. Irvine is the primary location for up and coming businesses and industries – especially biotech, medical, fashion, real estate, finance and auto design. Innovative companies such as Allergan, Broadcom, Disney, Google, Mercedes Benz Advanced Design, Oakley, Pimco and Taco Bell can all be found in Orange County, just minutes away from the Merage School. And Irvine is one of the most desirable and safest locations to live in California – or anywhere.
