Experiential Learning

Our MBA program will challenge you to think outside the bounds of conventional practices, acquiring new business and personal skills through several unique experiential learning opportunities:

  • Executive Speaker Series—Attend regular talks by global business leaders that have included Wyoming governors, Baltimore Ravens vice president, managing director for JP Morgan Chase, Citi managing director and chief auditor of Global Functions and Data Governance and more.
  • The International Experience—Tour prominent European companies and collaborate with students from Pforzheim University on strategic company analysis.
  • Jackson Leadership Summit—Spend the weekend with corporate leaders in breathtaking Jackson, Wyoming, where you will discuss contemporary issues facing global business leaders.
  • Outdoor Leadership Experience—Spend one week in the Wind River Mountain Range hiking and camping as part of an on-the-ground case study on effective leadership and teamwork.

Student-Faculty Ratio

The UW MBA program boasts a 2:1 student-faculty ratio for the on-campus One Year MBA program. Each MBA cohort is small, so you will have ample opportunity to collaborate with UW’s world-class business faculty and staff and develop meaningful connections with your fellow students.

 

Business Ethics

UW is one of 10 business schools in the West participating in the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program, which prioritizes principle-based ethics education so you can hone unshakeable integrity.

Earning my MBA from the University of Wyoming was very rewarding and provided me with unique experiences. We were fortunate enough to learn leadership skills while hiking through the Winds, travel to Germany to study international business, and participate in projects with real world companies to help develop strategies that they later implemented. I am thankful for all my lessons learned and connections from the program.
