Our Mission

When St. Petersburg University asked us to be their partner in helping to create the St. Petersburg University School of Management, we realized this as an important and unique opportunity to generate a foundation of excellence in business education in Russia that can be passed on for generations to come.

"The UC Berkeley SPbSU SOM program may be the best example that exists of private cooperation between Russia and the United States in the field of business education. It's been a program directed by the energies of Russian colleagues who managed the ambitious task - creation of the SOM, the faculty of the modern type. They've done terrific work. They must be proud of what's been accomplished, and we feel privileged that we could help."
