The Global Management Program (GMP) is open to freshmen only, and is ideally suited for students who have a strong interest in global management and cultural immersion.
All students are encouraged to contact the Haas Undergraduate Program Office or the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for assistance and further program information.
The application is available through the UC Application. Applications for admission to the GMP are available in August prior to the year in which you plan to enter UC Berkeley. The application filing period is November 1-30, and all applications must be submitted by November 30.
Applicants who are selected for the Global Management Program will be notified during February or March.
Application Basics
- UC Application
- GMP supplemental application
- Video interview
Supplemental Essay
Once you submit your UC Application, you will receive an additional email from UC Berkeley’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions asking you to write and submit a supplemental essay about your interest in the Global Management Program. Expect to receive this email 5-7 business days after submitting your UC Application. From there, you will have until 11:59pm PST, January 6, 2023 to submit your supplemental essay. Failure to submit your essay by the deadline will remove you from consideration to the GMP.
Interviews
The information submitted as part of the written application typically gives us the full picture of a student’s experience and aspirations. However, we invite all applicants to submit a video interview as part of the supplemental application to give voice to their story. The video interview is not mandatory but strongly recommended.
