ORIENTATION

The cohort nature of the Graduate Business Programs at PSU fosters an environment of camaraderie and team building. The MBA + Orientation in mid-September is a critical component of the program and is required for all students.

 

At orientation, students will gain an opportunity to meet their colleagues through both formal introductions and through some social networking activities.

Students will also gain an in-depth understanding of the program, including academic issues such as reviewing concentration options and planning for them in your schedule. You will also learn about Portland State University’s Career Services, including an overview of available services and resources for your career planning.

As part of the orientation events, incoming students receive advice from MBA + alumni and current students, covering issues ranging from research tools and academic standards to parking and buying books. Finally, the orientation offers a chance to cover the logistics of getting started at PSU, including student ID’s and parking permits.

 

Check out the MBA + Calendar for the dates of orientation.

"I get to know almost all my cohort members one on one. The diversity is awesome – there are over 10 nationalities in a class of about 26 people (countries represented include: Nigeria, India, Germany, Russia, South Korea, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Ecuador, Greece, and of course the native Americans). Also it is amazing that military personnel, financial analysts, coaches, retail store managers, consultants, energy services analysts, bankers, and fresh graduates are all together in a class, adding their real world experiences. I may not have had the privilege of being part of such a community in a bigger class. My PSU class already feels like a second family for me."
