University of California, San Diego - Rady School of Management

Founded in 2003, the Rady School of Management was created as a shared vision by local science and technology leaders with the goal of enhancing the vitality of the strong regional economy. As part of the prestigious UC San Diego campus, the Rady School is surrounded by premier research institutions, accelerators and other top-ranked schools of excellence. The key to UC San Diego's successful development of innovative undergraduate, graduate, Ph.D., and executive education programs is the unique, collaborative environment cultivated by the region's top technology companies, research institutes and universities in the region. San Diego is home to more than 500 biomedical companies, over 1,400 software and computer services companies and is considered the high-tech capital of Southern California. Rady students enjoy vibrant collaborations with other esteemed UC San Diego schools and institutions, including the Jacobs School of Engineering and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Joint projects include the Scripps-Rady Ocean Plastic Pollution Challenge, a six-month accelerator program focused on identifying effective ways to curb the flow of plastic into the ocean, with a focus on marine conservation and coastline preservation. The Rady School is committed to attracting, welcoming and engaging all local and international populations. The San Diego community gains from the intellectual stimulation, cultural enrichment, social commitment and global understanding of diverse populations.
