“A great emphasis on entrepreneurship and finance” is among the program strengths that draw MBAs to the University of San Francisco’s School of Management, which offers a variety of MBA program formats and optional concentrations to suit all needs. USF’s MBA is available in three program formats: Full-Time MBA (two years), Part-Time MBA (three years), and an Executive MBA (twenty-one months).
In all programs, USF’s “strong connections with venture capitalists in the area” as well as “the technology and innovation of the Silicon Valley” help make entrepreneurship “such a strength” of this MBA program. The MBA program’s “international draw”—43 percent of students here are internationals—makes USF a great place for those interested in international business to learn and network. “I believe that anyone looking to get into international business would find USF a great fit,” one student tells us. Each of USF’s MBA programs maintains “small class sizes” that promote “personal relationships with professors,” especially valuable since professors here “will get you business contacts.” Each program embodies “the Jesuit approach toward a well-rounded education” and works at “ensuring ethics” throughout the curriculum.
The program places “an emphasis on group cooperation while nurturing individual growth.”
