Two-Year MBA International Students

International Student Orientation

Incoming international students must attend International Student Orientation (ISO) before the start of their program. ISO is 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

ISO Details for the Two-Year MBA Class of 2025

• Date TBD

ISO Waivers

International students who have extensive U.S.-based work and/or educational experience might be eligible to waive the ISO requirement. Students who are interested in requesting a waiver should do so through our Student Information Form, which will be sent to all incoming students in the summer.
