Admission Information Sessions
Over the past year, The Wharton School has embarked on a strategy to further
its connection with the Arab world. It has introduced two prominent Arab businessmen
into the Wharton Advisory Board, added a dual degree program focusing on the Arab world,
and enrolled over 15 students into the MBA class of 2004 of either Arab descent or who
have work experience in the Middle East.
The MBA Admissions Office of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania is
holding information sessions and receptions in Beirut and Dubai on October 14th and 15th,
respectively.
During the information session, MBA Admissions director, Rosemarie Martinelli, and Wharton
alumni will share information on the MBA program, the Wharton School, the admissions'
procedures and financial aid options. There will also be opportunities for questions
and answers. The event is sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton.
