Campus Visit Activities

Student-led Campus Tour

Current MBA students will give you a first-hand glimpse into life at Wharton while they guide you on a tour of our campus.


Student Panel and Q&A

Sit down with a panel of current MBA students with varying backgrounds and post-MBA goals who will answer your questions and discuss their experiences in the Wharton MBA Program.


Class Visit (Mondays and Thursdays Only)

Observe Wharton’s collaborative learning environment first-hand. The class list will be posted when you arrive on campus, and class selection is on a first come, first served basis. For fairness we do not let prospective students choose which class they will attend prior to coming to campus. This allows us to make sure that you will make it to class on time. We also do our best to understand when exams are taking place or when a class is not meeting.

Please Note: You must check-in with the MBA Admissions Office at least 15 minutes prior to the start of class to be able to attend a class visit.


MBA/MA Lauder Information Session (Mondays and Thursdays Only)

Join staff members from the Lauder Program, who will present highlights of the MBA/MA Joint Degree program and answer questions about Wharton, Lauder and the Lauder application process.


MBA Pub (Thursdays only)

Pub is one of the biggest clubs on campus and a time honored tradition at Wharton. Pub welcomes MBA students every Thursday afternoon to connect, start their weekend, and enjoy beer, wine, and pub-fare foods. Feel free to mingle with our students for this off-campus event! Instructions and a ticket to this event will be provided upon arrival.

Pub will take place on the following dates: October 5, October 26, November 16, and December 7 (dates may be subject to change).
