Is the Wisconsin MBA the right fit for you? Prospective students are encouraged to request a visit and come to Madison to experience first hand what it is like to attend the Wisconsin MBA. When requesting a campus visit we ask that you submit your resume and any other pertinent information (i.e. GMAT score, undergraduate GPA, specialization of interest) to assist us in determining what kind of visit would best suit your needs.
In order to have time to put together a comprehensive visit schedule for you we ask that you request your visit at least two weeks in advance.
Because MBA classes are not held during the summer, we suggest you plan a campus visit between September and April. Please note that personalized visits will close December 5, 2011 and will resume February 1, 2012.
Your scheduled visit during the school year may include:
- A tour with an MBA Student Ambassador
- The opportunity to attend an MBA class with an MBA student
- An informal meeting with a representative in your desired career specialization
- An informational meeting or admissions interview with an admissions representative
