“Accounting classes are great for consultants<br />
because they give you a lot <strong>of</strong> the theories<br />
that you will use every day on the job.”<br />
“My independent study courses were the<br />
most valuable thing I did at Haas. <strong>The</strong><br />
process is simple and the pr<strong>of</strong>essors<br />
are super supportive. I maxed out on<br />
independent study because I enjoyed it so<br />
much and learned even more.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong> elective system gives you the space to<br />
explore. I took classes as different as Power<br />
& Politics and Creativity & <strong>Innovation</strong> in<br />
Marketing with Jennifer Aaker. That class<br />
really shifted the bar to a completely new<br />
place for me.”<br />

“I knew from the start that I wanted to be in<br />
the consumer product sector, but I didn’t know<br />
just what function I wanted to pursue. <strong>The</strong><br />
core class in marketing piqued my interest. I<br />
realized how much my analytical skills could<br />
apply in that field, and that made up my mind.”<br />
“Being able to take elective courses in spring<br />
semester <strong>of</strong> my first year was really important<br />
because it gave me the opportunity to do some<br />
class projects. I was able to point to those in<br />
my internships interviews to show that I was<br />
serious and competent.”<br />
“What makes Haas different is that you get<br />
to create your own path – through classes,<br />
extracurricular activities and experiential<br />
learning. You can define your own idea <strong>of</strong><br />
success. You are encouraged to follow your<br />
own dream.”<br />

“Once you have obtained the basics through<br />
the core curriculum, nothing at Haas is set<br />
in stone. You have the opportunity to put<br />
together a class list that works for you, one<br />
that allows you to really dig into an area that<br />
interests you.”<br />
“In Tax & Firm Strategy, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Suneel<br />
Udpa taught us to look beyond the numbers.<br />
I came to understand how important tax<br />
structure is for a company in a deal or in an<br />
investment.”<br />
“Being involved with groups like the Finance<br />
Club and the Consulting Club was a good<br />
supplement to my classes. <strong>The</strong>y were forums<br />
to continue discussions and interpret what is<br />
going on in the business world.”<br />
