The Rady School of Management is located at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego), which is recognized among the top 50 universities in the world by both QS and Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2019. Founded in 2003, the Rady School offers three MBA programs, three specialized master’s, a number of undergraduate and executive education courses, along with a Ph.D. program.
The school prides itself on its close-knit community, where students benefit from small class sizes during their studies, allowing for them to gain plenty of one-to-one time with their professors, while at the same time forming close bonds with fellow students.
As a result of UC San Diego's strong industry links with science and technology communities in the region, there are plenty of opportunities for students to gain work experience through internships, while regular networking events take place throughout the year.
Located in La Jolla, the Rady Campus boasts views looking onto the Pacific Ocean, and is a short drive to hiking or skiing, giving students plenty to do and see in their spare time. On site, there is a student center, state of the art classrooms, coffee shops and restaurants.
The Rady Student Association runs a range of events and activities for students to get involved. Many of these are aimed to create further learning opportunities for students to expand their networks, with current organizations including the Entrepreneur Club, Finance & Investment Club, and Technology Club.
San Diego, California's second-largest city, is a vibrant place to live, study and work, with beautiful beaches and a thriving startup scene. The city is home to award-winning theatres, galleries and music venues, while many festivals are held there each year, from St Patrick's Day parties to the San Diego County Fair.
