“UCI and the MSBA program represent the nexus of higher education in Southern California. I spent a lot of time researching the pros and cons of similar programs. UCI’s careful development of the MSBA curriculum, capstone project and career services were clear differentiators…and who doesn’t love Orange County!”

Javier Orraca ’19 MSBA

“Apart from being one of the top ten public schools in the US, I knew UCI would provide me the perfect platform to learn and build my career at the forefront of the analytics frontier, with its data-rich curriculum and renowned research center.”
