University of California, Irvine - The Paul Merage School of Business

Leadership for a Digitally Driven World Agility is key to survival in a world of disruptive technologies. The UCI Paul Merage School of Business develops and equips agile leaders for our digitally driven world with critical business and leadership skills needed to succeed. Our programs are continually adapted to address the ever-changing social, technological and economic opportunities and challenges. We offer four dynamic MBA programs, plus specialty masters programs in Accounting, Business Analytics, Finance, Biotechnology Management and Engineering Management, PhD, and undergraduate business degrees. In addition to business discipline proficiency, these programs focus on developing creative and critical thinking skills, strategic decision-making, leadership, innovation, and collaboration through in-class and on-site experiences with real-world business problems. Seven Centers of Excellence and Executive Education programs provide numerous and varied opportunities for students and the business community at-large to enhance their education experience and update their professional expertise. While the Merage School is relatively young, it has quickly grown to consistently rank among the top 5% of all AACSB-accredited programs through exceptional student recruitment, world-class faculty, a strong alumni network and close relationships with both individual business executives and global corporations. We combine the academic strengths and best traditions of the University of California with the cutting-edge, entrepreneurial spirit of Orange County in the heart of Southern California's Tech Coast.
