Real World Experiences

Full-time MBA students complete 6 credits of experiential learning through at least two distinct experiences.

You can complete your requirements in several ways, including internships for independent study credit or a course-based experience offered as an elective in your concentration. 

These opportunities allow you to gain experience in your field and, for our international students, they give you exposure to American business practices. These opportunities are in addition to the applied assignments and cases you will complete as part of your coursework. Whitman’s close community connections and broad alumni base offer a number of opportunities for experiential learning.

My main goal is to be someone who can inspire women in business. I want to teach women how to earn their seat at the table, as well as be heard and acknowledged. Living and studying in a foreign country can be challenging, but it is also an opportunity for personal growth, new perspectives and a deeper appreciation for diversity and cultural differences
