Two-Year MBA International Students

International Student Orientation (ISO)

Incoming international students are required to participate in the in-person international student orientation specifically geared towards international students starting their Johnson MBA journey. These are designed to:

• Acclimate you to U.S. business school
• Help you build early connections with key faculty and staff, as well as with your international peers
• Provide key recruitment preparation

Students with significant previous experience in the United States may be eligible for a waiver for ISO. More information on the waiver will be shared in the New Student Guides in the spring.
