    UCLA Anderson School of Management Program Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The UCLA Anderson School of Management is all about teamwork and collaboration. The school has an excellent entrepreneurship center (the Price Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation<\/strong>), and the student body exemplifies Anderson\u2019s innovative spirit. Creative leaders who can think fearlessly and lead innovation while sharing their success are valued. However, the school is no place for egos; optimism, flexibility, passion, curiosity, analytic ability, and strategic thinking are all traits the admissions committee likes to see in applicants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Anderson\u2019s classes are medium sized, with 307 students in the most recent incoming class, and the school emphasizes student leadership, group projects, and community. Anderson has several centers of study, including real estate, entrepreneurship, media, entertainment, sports, and finance. The aforementioned Price Center offers fellowships, courses, and the Knapp Venture Competition<\/strong> for budding entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Anderson touts the city of Los Angeles as providing \u201climitless opportunities\u201d to its students, with myriad entertainment options, several beaches, and numerous businesses in the area. Being in LA offers students access to school-year internships, informational interviews, networking, and industry practitioners as instructors. In addition, hundreds of research centers and eight joint degree programs are available to Anderson students via the greater UCLA community. Want some college sports excitement as part of your MBA experience? UCLA holds 124 NCAA titles, and the alumni base is incredibly supportive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Anderson is especially proud of its Parker Career Management Center<\/strong>. With more than half of a class typically switching both industry and function, the center provides outstanding support including Anderson Career Team Coaches, second-year students who volunteer to assist first-year students through the career search process. The center\u2019s International Coaching Program offers a similar option for international students. Admitted students have access to the Parker Center\u2019s resources as soon as they are admitted, even before they set foot on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
