Welcome from Interim Dean Jennifer Chatman

As the Interim Dean of Berkeley Haas, I personally want to congratulate you on your admission to our wonderful Berkeley MBA for Executives Program, Class of 2026. Our Berkeley MBA Program offers the kind of transformative experience that will allow you to make a greater impact on the world, regardless of the industry or function to which you aspire.

We saw in you the embodiment of our Defining Leadership Principles:

• In your career, you have asked yourself, isn’t there a better way of doing this? That's Question the Status Quo.
• You know that you will have the greatest impact by working with and through others. That's Confidence without Attitude.
• Students Always. You wouldn't be here, if you didn’t believe in continually learning new things.
• You have demonstrated stewardship for something larger than yourself. That's Beyond Yourself.

At Berkeley Haas, you will find a welcoming, tight-knit community, and a network for life. We admit only a small class of the very best who share a commitment to changing the world. We are thrilled to welcome you to Berkeley Haas – to the heart of what’s next.

Welcome to Berkeley Haas

We hope that you are as excited to join us as we are to welcome you here. We know that you’ve worked hard to get to this point in your MBA journey and now that it’s time to commit you may have an entirely new set of questions and considerations. To help you navigate that journey, we’d like to provide you with the information and resources you need to confirm that Berkeley Haas is the right program for you. Take some time to review all of this website - then come back to accept your offer and become an official member of the Class of 2026!

Meet your New Classmates - Join the Slack Workspace

Your future classmates are at the core of your learning journey. They’ll be your study team, your support structure, and your lifelong friends. As you are making the decision to attend, your first step should be to join the Class of 2027 Slack Workspace. We’ve set this up to give you the opportunity to talk to fellow admits with the opportunity to ask questions of current students, admissions and program office staff. 

We recommend creating a profile, including your picture, and start to connect with your potential future classmates. You should have received an email invitation to join the Slack Workspace at your personal email address. If you have not received an invitation, please email us and we will follow up to make sure that you’re invited.
