Curriculum

Your journey as a Berkeley undergraduate begins alongside other incoming Spieker Undergraduate Business Program first year students. While on campus, you will explore campus resources and connect with your peers in the first of three GMP cohort classes, setting the stage for the next four years at Cal.

After your first year, once summer ends, you and your cohort will travel to an exciting Fall semester abroad in Cape Town, South Africa. You will study at the University of Cape Town with local students, immersing yourself in a cultural and academic environment. Engage in coursework that includes business electives, cultural studies, and exclusive visits to local businesses, deepening your understanding of how culture and business intersect on a global scale. The local international center will be there for your academic support and cultural integration while abroad.

When you return to UC Berkeley for the Spring semester, you will start your second cohort class experience with your GMP peers. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to take a mix of classes at the Haas School of Business and across UC Berkeley, further expanding your international studies, enhancing your quantitative skills, and developing your leadership capabilities.
