Careers
A Rich Array of Resources for FEMBA Students
The Paul Merage School of Business offers six Centers of Excellence
that provide numerous opportunities for you to collaborate, work,
and learn from business leaders and entrepreneurs.
The Don Beall Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship fosters a
connection among researchers, visionaries, business leaders, and
venture capitalists. You can become involved in one of the many
exciting programs offered through the Center, and enhance your own
entrepreneurial tendencies. Programs offered include a business
plan competition, a venture capital investment competition, an
entrepreneurial skills workshop series, a breakfast speaker series,
and one-on-one consulting.
The Center for Global Leadership enables you to enhance your
business and leadership skills. Through a variety of programs, the
Center allows you to develop personal and managerial skills, to
work directly with an executive mentor, and to learn valuable
lessons in leadership and ethics. One of the most notable programs
offered by the Center is the Distinguished Speaker Series, which
brings prominent C-level speakers to campus. Recent speakers have
included the president of the Disneyland Resort and the CEOs of
Mattel, Allergan, Ingram Micro, and Volvo Cars of North
America.
The Center for Real Estate serves as a forum to discuss and solve
current and future real estate industry issues. It is the only one
of its kind in southern California that is fully incorporated
within the business school. Programs offered through the Center
include a breakfast speaker series and an annual lifetime
achievement award. Courses are offered through the business school
in real estate finance, capital markets, and development.
Additional courses are offered through affiliated faculty members
in areas such as urban planning, environment, legal issues, and
public policy.
The Center for Investment and Wealth Management embraces the
complexities of creation, management, and intergenerational
transfer of wealth. We draw on expertise from business leaders and
university scholars as we mentor, teach, and advise students in the
community. The Center provides the impetus for discussion and study
of critical industry issues. You can also specialize your MBA
through our elective course offerings in Financial Planning,
Investments, and Wealth Management.
The Center for Health Care Management and Policy communicates
important health care issues from financial, marketing,
organizational, technological, legal, and economic perspectives. If
your career has a health care focus, you will benefit from our
lengthy record of innovation and discovery in the health care
industry. Programs offered through the Center include an annual
Health Care Forecast Conference and a health care industry speaker
series.
The Center for Digital Transformation (formerly
CRITO) brings together scholars from a variety of
disciplines to study social and managerial issues related to
technology. Researchers are currently studying how web services
impact business, how companies can embrace technology, and how IT
transforms the way we live, work, and play. The Center is supported
by such organizations as IBM, Microsoft, Conexant, Canon, Intel,
and the Department of Defense.
Outside of the Centers of Excellence, the MBA Career Center is a
valuable resource for FEMBA students, as well as corporate
recruiters. The Career Center supports your career development and
job search with resources, training and guidance. They can help you
develop a long-term career plan and build career management
skills.
Academic Approach
The Merage MBA core curriculum focuses on four key drivers of
business growth that distinguish our graduates from other
MBAs: strategic innovation, information technology,
analytic decision making and collaborative execution. Each
of these themes is integrated into the core to help you build a
solid foundation on which to effectively compete in today's global
economy.
Another hallmark of the FEMBA program is teamwork. Students attend
all of the core classes and the three off-site residentials with
the students in their individual cohort. This model provides
students with a collaborative and intense teamwork-driven
environment.
