Business Community Opportunities






The Paul Merage School of Business at UC Irvine maintains close ties with business leaders from many of the most prominent and up-and-coming businesses in Orange County and beyond. Teaming up with a leading management school is a win-win situation: you will gain access to exclusive networks, top MBA talent, and the latest business knowledge emerging from faculty research; and Merage School MBAs gain first-hand exposure to the business world.

We invite you to explore the many opportunities available to you.

  • Dean's Advisory Board (by invitation) -- top executives across industries are called upon to help make the School and its programs the best they can be.
  • Centers of Excellence Board Memberships -- six Centers bridge the campus to the community in specialized areas -- collaboration, research and learning benefit both.
