Audience question: UC Davis Working Professional MBA program

I remember two years ago when I started looking for information about part-time MBA programs in the SF bay area I was totally overwhelmed. There are a lot of schools in the area and I had no idea which ones were good. I didn't even understand the difference between a UC school and a private school!

1/6th done! My second term at UC Davis' Bay Area Working Professional MBA program

The winter 2009 quarter brought our working group closer together (read: cliquing is on in full force) and further separated us from "The Others" enrolled in the same courses but on the alternate schedule. The Others are just like the mysterious group that live on the island in the TV show Lost. Very suspect. We try not to make eye contact when we meet at lunch or dinner.

1/12th done! My first term at UC Davis' Bay Area Working Professional MBA program

The first quarter of b-school was kinda awesome. I met a bunch of cool kids, learned a lot more about finance than I thought I was going to, and the material in class was incredibly relevant to the crashing economy and failing banks. We talked about mark-to-market financial accounting the weekend before Lehman Bros tanked! Very cool.

The first two classes I took are both core classes (meaning they're obligatory): Financial Accounting and Organizational Behaviour.

Next quarter, Winter 2009, I'm going to take Microeconomics with Victor Stango (and a textbook co-authored by Ben Bernanke!), and Statistics with Bill Ellis.

The end of free time, starting B-school at Davis

I'm starting business school at UC Davis! It's the Bay Area Working Professional (evening and weekends) program, classes on Fridays and Saturdays every two weeks for the next three years. I guess this is the end of wondering 'what shall I do this weekend?'
