No. 1 in the World for Female Faculty Reflecting the global economy, our professors are a culturally diverse group of men and women. Our vision of business excellence embraces diversity, which is essential to our community, our mission and the UC Davis MBA experience. The Financial Times’ 2010 Global MBA Rankings confirms our commitment to faculty diversity. Among the world’s top 100 business schools, UC Davis has the highest percentage of fulltime faculty who are women. At 42 percent, UC Davis is the only business school with more than 40 percent of faculty members who are women.
“The culture at the Graduate School of Management is team oriented, and we recruit and attract students and faculty who want to be team players. In my research, I’ve done my best work when I’ve collaborated. It’s harder to see and explore all the ideas yourself. You need the insight and expertise of others.” >> www.gsm.ucdavis.edu/elsbach
