hey rick. naturally I would look into the big 4: Cal Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA, and USC. but there are also other solid programs such as Santa Clara, Pepperdine, and UC Irvine that you dont hear about as much, but are still great programs with good reputations. lots of options in california.

theres an older discussion aobut califonria mbas that had some good ideas. i just saw that uc davis is also in the economist top 100 mbas in "the americas". so that program is probably worth mentioning, too.

Many thanks to both of you, I didnt see the older thread about th esme topic.. I was actually considering Stanford, do you think they rank better than USC and UCLA? Outside of the US, I guess Stanford has the biggest name, but in the US itself?

yes. Stanford is also considered a big name and top MBA program in the US. Perhaps the most highly regarded of all the ones mentioned above.

You might also consider The Rady School of Management at UC San Diego. Rady has both Full-Time and part-time programs (referred to as the FlexMBA). As of this posting, it's currently admitting it's second full-time class, and the first Flex Class ('06) is set to graduate in August. From the website:

"The Rady School will pioneer the education of tomorrow's business leaders through an innovative curriculum, led by internationally recognized faculty. Seeking to rapidly obtain top-tier status, the school leverages UCSD's strengths as a preeminent research institution – especially its outstanding programs in science, engineering, medicine, economics and international relations."

Happy hunting!

I think the best is Stanford of course, but it depends on what you focus is in your career. I think USC is good for real estate. Berkeley is good for tech. Same with pepperdine.

I agree with all of the above, so I'm not going to say anything remotely contradictory. Rather, I just wanted to say as regards UC Davis that I have a friend there (a molecular biologist, admittedly), who rates the university as a whole very highly. But then he would - he's a mountain biking and rock climbing nut, and Davis is perfectly located for both. Forget 2.4 kids; Davis has 2.4 bikes per person on average!
