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: Class visit sign up is on a first-come, first-served basis in the MBA Admissions Office from 10:15 AM – 11:00 AM upon check in.
