The Anderson School, a seven-building, $82-million complex, today boasts a top-ranked student body; entering students have one of the highest average GPA and GMAT scores in the nation. The global diversity of our student body continued to expand, with 20 percent of the M.B.A. class of 2001 studying abroad Fall Quarter, and our entering class comprised of students from 50 countries. Anderson’s nine academic departments offer a wide range of specialties, including accounting, finance, marketing and organizational behavior.

 The School’s efforts to pioneer new areas of study have benefitted from the support of private business partners, including Hewlett-Packard, Accenture, CitiGroup, AOL Time Warner and Honeywell, as well as foundations such as the Price Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, the Packard Foundation and the Olin Foundation. Among the School’s research centers is the UCLA Anderson Forecast, perhaps the most cited scholarly indicator of economic trends in California and the nation. The Center for Communication Policy and Entertainment/Media entered the second year of its long-term exploration of how life is being transformed by computers and the Internet, with year-to-year comparisons of the social and cultural changes produced as people use this extraordinary technology, analyzed on a global scale.

 The Anderson School is also involved in giving back to the Los Angeles community as an active participant in such programs as Head Start, and Leadership Education and Development (LEAD).  In addition, M.B.A. students working through the Riordan Programs help inner-city high school students prepare themselves for business studies in higher education.

2000-'01 MILESTONES INCLUDE:
 The School received its largest unrestricted gift to date when an alumnus (’95) donated $130,000 to the Annual Fund as part of his class’ five-year reunion gift. Reunion classes as a whole surpassed all previous years’ giving, raising $567,649 through the efforts of five classes. The Annual Fund once again broke all previous records, raising $1.7 million.
Through The Anderson School Board of Visitors Discretionary Fund, board members and others have the opportunity to make an investment in the School and to shape how their gift benefits Anderson. The proceeds of the fund are allocated according to the discretion of the dean in consultation with the board. The fund saw marked growth this year with a gift of $750,000 from a board member. Proceeds typically support key Anderson funding needs such as faculty salary augmentation, new initiative implementation, curriculum support and program or administrative supporty.
   The School’s first coinvestment fund was established and launched. The Anderson Coinvestment Fund invests alongside leading venture capital firms in early stage ventures, with equity stakes carved out of the firms’ early round investment allocations.  As of July 1, 2001, the School had received $437,000 in commitments from venture firms and others; proceeds will benefit areas of strategic importance to the School.
For the second of three years, the School admitted a third section of 65 students in the Fully Employed M.B.A. (FEMBA) program. Fees from this self-supported program substantially benefit The Anderson School’s bottom line; the addition of a third cohort brought in more than $1,300,000 in incremental revenue in fiscal year ‘01.
