Texas MBA Orientation, August 11-26, 2008

Get connected to the people, technology and resources essential for your success at the McCombs School of Business during Texas MBA Orientation, a highly focused two-week session before the start of classes.


Texas MBA Orientation gives you a head start on classes, introduces you to the culture at the McCombs School of Business and is, without a doubt, the best opportunity for you to meet fellow classmates. Because those areas will be so essential to your overall success during your next two years at McCombs, MBA Orientation is required for all students entering the program in the fall semester.


So, get ready to get active! With team building, experiential learning, interactive sessions, meetings with core faculty, academic and career advisors, nationally recognized speakers and lots of fun events, it’s the perfect way to start off your Texas MBA experience. There will also be many optional sessions integrated throughout Orientation.
