The Class of 2008 and 2009 celebrate the successful completion of their first and second year with a picnic at Thatcher Park.

Welcome to the University at Albany's Full-Time MBA program! You have been admitted into a competitive, internationally accredited program of study. You will be working in classes with teams of students who have diverse business backgrounds. You will learn from professors who teach, research, and immerse themselves in their respective disciplines. It is a rigorous program, but one that will be well worth the time, effort, and (a few) sleepless nights!

The following pre-work has been designed by the faculty to help students arrive for their classes prepared with the knowledge, skills, and ability to succeed in the MBA program. Since every student joins the program with different academic and professional backgrounds, each of you will find different parts of the orientation program to be challenging.

We have tried, where possible, to provide you with places to go or sources to consult for more information if you find the information to be difficult.  Please read this page and complete all activities and readings prior to your arrival for Orientation on Tuesday, August 19th.
