Potential students looking at the MBA degree are totally justified in asking, "What's in it for me?" Part of the reward comes quickly in salary jumps (and usually signing bonuses) after graduation. On average our students see an 85% increase in salary between their pre-MBA and post-MBA compensation. That's just the start of their lifelong trajectory of higher income.
The greatest value of the UCLA Anderson MBA comes from access to our network. Year after year we bring in classes full of amazing people representing the globe and diverse backgrounds and interests, so everyone can learn from each other in the friendly warm melting pot here. Our latest brochure shows the general range of students we invite to join us annually.
Enhanced job opportunities are just the start of personal growth here for our MBA students. Leadership skills and social activism flourish in our supportive community. Combined with intense academic learning and career coaching, the experience makes our students "masters of their own destiny" as they say. This spirit is what turns many Anderson alumni into successful entrepreneurs later in their careers as they create options for income and impact.
Anderson access extends beyond the UCLA campus even for students, as our program empowers them to also get practical experience with internships here in one of the world's great cities. Then with boosted resumes they get post-MBA jobs all over the US and abroad as they spread our helpful contacts around the planet.
The four letters UCLA are a global brand, but our Anderson MBA alumni in particular have a tight network that believes in sharing success by helping each other and current students too.
