Participation in the Berkeley Haas Global Access Program (BHGAP) can strengthen your application to future jobs, internships and academic programs. It can expand your professional and personal network, enhance your knowledge and skills, and reflect positively on your ability to undertake challenging coursework in an international setting.
Some tangible benefits include graduate school admissions workshops, access to Haas School of Business faculty, opportunities to pitch start-up ideas and participate in the SkyDeck accelerator, networking events, the ability to request a UC Berkeley transcript of your grades, and a certificate of completion.
That said, participation in BHGAP does not give you special consideration during the admissions review process for any of UC Berkeley's degree programs, including the MBA programs through our Haas School of Business. You will need to meet the same requirements as other applicants and will be evaluated according to the same guidelines. The BHGAP is not a backdoor path into the MBA program at UC Berkeley.
