Curriculum

MBA Experience
Year One
International Trip
Year Two
The seven-day Wisconsin MBA Experience can’t be missed (and we mean that literally). As an entering student, you will find the Wisconsin MBA Experience provides an opportunity to get acclimated to the program through a series of interactive sessions.
You take core courses as a cohort, developing camaraderie and working on cross-functional team projects. This first year also includes at least three courses in your career specialization.

International trips are to be taken over winter break to avoid missing classes. Some funding is available for one trip. Participation in a domestic conference (such as ULI) is also highly encouraged.

Preceding Year Two, students have the opportunity to complete a Summer Internship. Students who are placed in summer internships at various companies across the country have the chance to apply what they've learned in the first year at Wisconsin and grow on the job.

Your classmates will be a wonderful part of your two years at UW-Madison. Important professional networks will form during these two years, as will many strong and life-long friendships. Launch Video
