Orientation

Orientation is a required program that takes place before classes begin. Orientation is a critical part of the MBA experience that introduces you to the key areas of our program that are vital to your success inside and outside the classroom. You will meet your classmates, teammates, faculty, advisors and staff. Additionally, you will learn about the culture and traditions that make our MBA great!

  • Introductions: We kick off with an informal welcome from our staff, faculty and current students. You will spend time getting to know your cohort and peers through introductions and ice breaker activities.
  • Academics & Expectations: We cover the curriculum, concentrations, case study methodology, faculty expectations and training on our technology interfaces.
  • Career Development: You will be introduced to our career development process, and familiarize yourself with Hire Warrington and the Business Career Services calendar and timeline for internship and full time employment opportunities.
  • Team Development: Cohorts really get to know each other while working together through a series of challenges and interactive games.
  • Networking events include a panel discussion and luncheon with alumni.

Please plan to participate in Orientation activities during business hours each day and during the evenings of Monday and Friday.

Graduation

At the end of your program, you and your family will celebrate your accomplishment at a college-wide ceremony. Ceremonies take place in the spring and winter and consist of commencement exercises for Warrington graduates only.
