Since 1963, the hard work and dedication of our graduates has earned them an enviable reputation in the Southern California marketplace.

We are listed in Forbes Top 100 public institutions, are annually recognized by Princeton Review as one the “Best 294 Business Schools”, and were named by U.S. News & World Report in the top ten public master’s institutions in the West.The advantage of being the largest AACSB accredited institution in the West Coast and one of the largest in the nation means that our students can pursue an MBA in many areas of strength. Those interested in an MBA in Entrepreneurship choose Mihaylo. Our MBA in Accounting is strengthened by the fact that Mihaylo is a preferred recruiting school with the Big Four accounting firms and all the regional firms. The MBA in Business Intelligence takes advantage of an ISDS faculty ranked in the top 60 nationally in research productivity and the MBA in Risk Management and Insurance is the largest program west of the Mississippi.The fact is that our students can choose to fine tune their MBA in twelve different areas including: Accounting, Economics, Business Intelligence, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Information Systems, International Business, Management, Management Science, Marketing, and Risk Management and Insurance. This diversity gives the Mihaylo grad the edge within their chosen industry as well as thousands of fellow alumni in nearly every industry as part of our enviable network.Our program’s high standard of excellence is maintained, in part, by the competitive nature of our admission process.
