Manickashree Thayumana Sundaram MSBA 24

After 6.5 years of work experience, I sought to enhance my analytics knowledge, and the MSBA program at UC Davis appeared to be a perfect fit. The well-structured MSBA coursework and UC Davis' robust alumni network have brought me to San Francisco, the epicenter of innovation and technology.

The program's standout feature is the year-long practicum, during which we apply the knowledge gained in the class to tackle real-world business challenges.
