Reviews of UC Davis Graduate School of Management
"The GSM's Full-Time MBA Program could best be characterized as a dumpster fire placed within a fire-proof Ikea box. On the outside, it looks approachable, legitimate, and while not a Top 25 FT MBA Program, still reputable as UC Davis is objectively a good school. The program typically draws a critical mass of bright students from Sac and the Bay Area along with some very talented international students. Yet once you bypass the superficial protective outer layer, you realize the reality is a program rife with complacency, lack of accountability, and absolutely not worth the ROI. A lot of GSM's flaws are not unique - they can be found in probably the vast majority of b-schools, even highly ranked ones. However, the main issue here is GSM's entire foundation is faulty and due to their lower ranking, there is no incentive to improve or be held accountable. It is a fact that behind closed doors, staff and key administrators will simply blame the students for having unrealistic expectations in terms of job placement/ employment outcomes. There is a certain " well, if you wanted to be even relatively picky, you should've gone to a better school" attitude engrained in staff and key administrators. If you are going to a FT MBA program seeking to change careers, unless you want to work in finance for Intel, Keysight, Anthem, or Kaiser, GSM is not going to have the pipelines, resources, or even basic will to help get you where you want to go. No one expects GSM to have T20 recruiting pipelines, but the reality is pretty sobering. Staff and key administrators see these job hunt struggles every year. They are used to it. They ultimately do not care. GSM’s FT MBA is barely clinging to the fringe of relevancy and its alumns are fragmented. I'm now 4.5 years removed from graduation (was class commencement student speaker) and while I am proud of my career accomplishments, I feel GSM destabilized me more than it did successfully enable career transition or get me on the right track. I was trying to transition from multi-sector advertising/ marketing into more strategic product marketing. That is not a stretch or an unrealistic career transition. If anything it should be a layup as far as career services is concerned. GSM's emphasis right now is on growing its MSBA Program and launching its new MS in Management programs (on-campus and online options). Both represent viable market opportunities/ differentiators and to GSM’s credit - it has been going for it in a big way. MPAc will always be stable because of the demand for accountants. GSM's FT MBA is an afterthought and its main purpose is to enable the existence of the PT and Online MBA Programs. GSM has been proudly highlighting how much they've grown overall enrollment, while of course conveniently omitting how their FT MBA is falling in all the major annual b-school rankings. U.S. News and World Report is widely regarded as the definitive b-school ranking, and GSM’s FT MBA fell out of its Top 50 several years ago, which is frankly fairly embarrassing. Now GSM proudly highlights 3rd tier rankings that either emphasize only public universities, aren’t participated in by most of the top 20ish schools, or that prioritize student to faculty ratio, which GSM knows it can game due to its small cohort sizes. There are only 5 scenarios that I believe would warrant attending their FT MBA Program: 1. Your company is funding it. 2. You are fully committed to Sacramento and a very specific regional industry. 3. You want the degree and plan on starting up an entrepreneurial venture afterwards. 4. You dream of working for Intel (or Solidigm - spun off a few years ago), Keysight, Kaiser, or Anthem. 5. You really despise yourself. I learned a lot and made some lifelong friends in the program. I think GSM's FT MBA cohorts are very smart and it was truly an honor to learn with them and from them over the course of those two academic years. However - I cannot recommend their FT MBA Program for all the reasons stated above."
"Nice building. Good lecture."
"The first truly contributes to a well-rounded education. The academics are certainly great, but I've learned far more from my peers and their experiences than I have from the classroom. Davis has done a great job of managing to create cohorts that are both diverse (from educational background, to life experience, to race & gender) and cohesive. The second definitely is the Sacramento & Bay location. While the school is often overlooked by close neighbors Stanford & UC Berkeley, Davis certainly has an "in" with Bay Area companies. The Sacramento location also benefits from being located at the UCD Medical Center (healthcare) and Sacramento (government) in general. We get the perks of being relatively close to the Bay but also the perks of being located directly in the State Capital."
"Great facility, have used it a couple times."
