Walton part-time MBA Orientation kicks off tomorrow

Walton Managerial MBA (MMBA) Orientation is tomorrow through Sunday, August 5-8. This is a four-day event jam packed with fun and some learning, too. Students will get their first two credit hours during this four-day weekend, so there is a classroom component. Orientation serves several purposes. New students get their ID; meet their fellow classmates; and learn about the program, policies, and procedures. There is also an opportunity to have lunch with recent alumni. This four day Orientation is very important. Students in the MMBA attend class one Saturday each month for two years. This four day experience allows them to get to know each other and begin to form the bonds and relationships that are important for retention. I am always excited about Orientation. I am able to meet everyone I have been working with during the application process.

As promised, here is the data about this class.

57 students
26% female
583 = average GMAT
3.27 = average GPA
7.8 = average years of work experience
31 = average age
