Haas School of Business, Business school at University of California, Berkeley, US
The Haas School of Business is a business school at the University of California in Berkeley, located in the southeastern part of campus. Four buildings surround a central courtyard where students and faculty gather between classes.
The institution began in 1898 as the College of Commerce, making it the first business school at a public university in the United States. In the late eighties, it received its current name through a major donation from the Walter and Elise Haas Fund.
The name honors the generous support provided by the Haas family in the late eighties, which opened new possibilities for the institution. Today, students gather in the central courtyard between buildings to study and talk between classes.
The institution offers several programs, including full-time MBA, evening MBA, weekend MBA, and executive MBA, as well as specialized master's programs in financial engineering. Visitors should check ahead for opening hours and access policies, since this is an active campus area.
Connie & Kevin Chou Hall, completed in 2018, was built using principles of sustainable construction and serves as a model for environmentally friendly teaching buildings. The building integrates daylight, natural ventilation, and resource-saving materials into its design.
