Nonprofit and Public Management
Students interested in careers in community
and economic development, international
development, education, the environment,
the arts, social services, and government
may take additional coursework in the
Nonprofit and Public Management
Program. The program’s mission is to
enhance the managerial and entrepreneurial
capabilities of nonprofit and public organizations
by educating and training future
leaders. The program also prepares students
to work in businesses with links to nonprofit
and public organizations (for example,
municipal finance or nonprofit consulting)
or to serve on their boards.
The Haas School encourages students to
design their own academic programs in this
field. In addition to the course offerings in
marketing and fundraising, financial management,
and other strategic issues, such as
working with a board of directors, UC
Berkeley courses in city and regional planning,
education, law, natural resources, public
health, public policy, and social welfare
frequently augment students’ programs.
The Bay Area’s many innovative nonprofit
and public organizations provide a variety of
consulting and internship opportunities.
Real Estate
Ranked among the nation’s top ten, the
Real Estate Program combines analytic
tools with hands-on field experience and
prepares students for careers with real
estate investment trusts, operating companies,
developers, financial institutions, and
consulting companies. Students study patterns
of city growth and community development,
public controls over land use,
property law and valuation, and the functioning
of real estate property and financial
markets. The Haas School offers electives
in areas such as real estate finance, investment
analysis, housing and urban policy,
and creating a real estate e-business.
Courses, competitions, and summer internships
provide opportunities to interact with
industry leaders and with students in city
and regional planning and public policy.
