The Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program
The Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program is a multi-faceted entity integrating research, education, development and other community outreach activities — thereby leveraging strengths in engineering, science and social sciences found at UC Merced. Together, this unit serves as a cross-functional hub for interdisciplinary research in management science, partnerships with for-profit and nonprofit enterprises and public organizations, and education programs that address the growing need for managers who are well-versed in the complex problems associated with coupled human and environmental systems.
