It is designed to consolidate faculty resources and student demand across campuses using an innovative means for delivering courses. In all, six new courses are available within the emphasis. Students from Berkeley and Davis take the Berkeley offering, while students from Irvine, Riverside, and UCLA attend the UCLA version. During the fall and winter quarters, classes are given at Santa Barbara campus. Two MBA classes meeting 10 hours per weekend are taken during the fall quarter, and one or two classes plus the Management Practicum are taken during the winter quarter.
Course credits reflect the conventions in place at each home campus.
This provides for useful integration of viewpoints from students in science, engineering and business within the context of environmental law and policy, risk management and industrial ecology. Financial Assistance Participating students are expected to arrange for their own transportation to Santa Barbara, but it is anticipated that some financial assistance for this purpose will be made available to Berkeley and Davis students. Once at Santa Barbara, all basic room and board expenses will be covered by funds from the Bren gift. For the 2000-01 program, at most 25 students will be selected in total from the five schools. The initial allocation of slots is on the basis of full-time MBA program size, with UCLA and Berkeley having the largest allocations, followed by Irvine, Riverside and Davis.
