I chose UC Davis because I wanted a program that would challenge me technically, while keeping analytical work grounded in real-world decision-making.

I was especially drawn to the MSBA program’s collaborative approach and the opportunity to work on a yearlong practicum project. Most importantly, I wanted a program where I could grow as an analyst while learning alongside a close-knit cohort.
