What Recent Grads Say See All 15 Comments >

-Anderson is extremely strong not only in core subjects such as marketing and finance, but also has premier faculty and centers supporting more niche subjects such as entrepreneurship and real estate. Additionally, UCLA has the advantage of hosting graduate programs that are first class in a number of other areas (law, medicine etc.). I saw numerous examples of students taking advantage of cross-collaboration opportunities, particularly in the area of start-ups.
