Orientation

Prior to beginning the MBA program, you participate in a comprehensive orientation program consisting of a number of sessions dedicated to ensuring your educational success. All orientation events are mandatory. Events include a mixture of academic sessions, faculty introductions and social events that allow you to engage with all members of the W. P. Carey community.

Orientation topics include:

• Introduction to core curriculum and faculty
• Case teaching methodology and preparing for case discussions
• Career management services and resources
• Using technology to enhance the educational experience
• Financial aid

Executive Program students also participate in Strategic Business Analysis, a multi-day course offered after orientation and prior to the start of classes.

Beginning with Fall 2009, some pre-orientation activities will be made available in an online video tutorial format, allowing you to complete some of the orientation activities earlier at your own pace.
