Visit the Lauder Institute
Experience the Community
If you’re thinking about applying to the Lauder Institute, we encourage you to visit us in Lauder-Fischer Hall on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Attend a class, meet with faculty or the admissions team face to face, and ask questions of current students in person. There is no better introduction to the Lauder community.
Attend an Information Session
Every Thursday from October through April, Lauder hosts a weekly information session at 2pm in Lauder-Fischer Hall. Join us to learn more about the program, meet with admissions staff and students, and attend a class. To sign up, please RSVP via the Wharton MBA admissions events page here.
