I enrolled in Rady to gain the skills and network to transition from an individual contributor to managing people, projects and products. The faculty was knowledgeable and invested in our learning, and fostered a culture of cooperation and camaraderie that led to relationships I’ll always cherish. Also, in part because of my experience and relationships at Rady, I was able to get a great job at a great company.

LAB TO MARKET

Whether you want to launch a startup or advance in an established company, the Rady School’s signature capstone course sequence, Lab to Market, provides the skills you need to excel. Students learn how to source and evaluate marketable ideas, transform ideas into scalable products and services and develop and evaluate business models.

An Experience Unlike Other Business Schools

LAB TO MARKET starts in the classroom and moves to a project-based setting. Guided by a faculty team and supported by a group of advisors and mentors from the business community, MBA students collaborate and utilize all the knowledge they have gained, developing a business case, a go-to-market strategy and ultimately a business plan.

I started my MBA program specifically to take Lab Fellows from just an idea to something that is living and breathing in the marketplace.
