What Recent Grads Say See All 15 Comments >

-Haas is very unique because of the school and student body's willingness to explore creative solutions to some of the world's most challenging problems by not accepting the status quo. Haas students generally lack the typical b-school attitude found at other programs, but still carry the same degree of individual confidence. For example, the programs offered in clean energy and non-profit careers are best-in-class.
