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.

9. 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.

11. StartR is designed to propel the success of companies founded
by Rady School students and alumni. StartR provides startup
teams with mentoring, workshops, work space, consultation
with Rady School faculty and industry experts, connections to
funding sources and a conduit to the larger San Diego business
community. StartR Accelerator teams have the opportunity to
pitch to investors and industry experts.
StartR helped by giving us a lot of really
practical information that’s not out there on
the internet, in books or any place else. It just
takes people talking to you who have been there
and can share information that you can use to
actually make your dreams become a reality.
