<p>The Haas School of Business is the world’s second best undergraduate business school with Wharton School of Business being the top. It is a very competitive program to get into and Haas can give so many opportunities that other top class universities such as Harvard and Stanford can provide. For instance, the list below shows some of the places that Berkeley Haas undergraduate students went to after graduation last year despite the recession:</p>
<ol>
<li>VISA Card</li>
<li>Wells Fargo Bank</li>
<li>Microsoft</li>
<li>McKinsey & Company</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs</li>
<li>JP Morgan Chase</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>US Department of Treasury</li>
<li>Bank of America</li>
<li>Citibank</li>
</ol>
<p>Here is a list of some of the places that Harvard undergraduate students went to after graduation last year:</p>
<ol>
<li>International Monetary Fund</li>
<li>Federal Reserve Board</li>
<li>Nike</li>
<li>Accenture</li>
<li>IBM</li>
<li>Bain & Company</li>
<li>American Express</li>
<li>Oracle</li>
<li>Proctor & Gamble</li>
<li>US Department of State</li>
</ol>
<p>As you can see, students from both schools go to amazing places. It seems though that Harvard is more geared towards getting their graduates more successfully into government jobs and Berkeley Haas is more tuned into getting their graduates to corporations. Nevertheless, both schools exhibit tons of prestige. To claim that one school is better than the other by a large amount is not valid. Although Harvard as an overall institution does have the edge over Berkeley. However, it is important to remember though that Harvard is in a class of its own and no other school whether it’s MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, Princeton, or Yale can overcome the ‘Harvard Premium.’</p>
