Orientation

Before your W. P. Carey Professional MBA classes begin, you will join us for a comprehensive orientation that introduces you to the curriculum and your classmates – many of whom will also be teammates for class assignments. Because orientation propels you directly into the unique experience of the Weekend program, we call it Launch.

Weekend Launch

Combining academic sessions with opportunities to engage with members of the W. P. Carey community, Launch will give you a chance to meet current students, faculty members, and our dedicated staff. In addition, it will provide you with a thorough understanding of your experience, including:

Core curriculum and electives
Case teaching methodology and preparing for case discussions
Working in teams and team assignments
Career management services and resources
Technologies used to deliver your online MBA course material

All Launch events are mandatory. Some pre-Launch activities will be made available in an online video tutorial format, allowing you to complete them earlier at your own pace. Further details will be made available through your enrollment checklist.
