Shivjyot Brar MSBA 27

 I chose UC Davis because I always wanted to do something that blends technical skills with business decision making, and the MSBA program was the best fit.

In my previous internships, I worked with data but never learned how to turn it into business value. The year-long practicum stood out the most to me, since it gives me the opportunity to work on a real world problem. The San Francisco location was another deciding factor, since being close to big tech companies opens up more networking and job opportunities.
