Visits with the viBe

Exploring graduate programs in business often requires more than guidebooks and websites can provide.To help you with your decision-making process, the Smith School coordinates the Visits with the viBe Program .

These interactive programs are designed to provide prospective students with a "mini journey" into the life of a business student! The programs are coordinated and hosted by members of the Smith viBe (Volunteers in Business Education), our diverse Admissions Ambassadors. ViBe members work with prospective MBA students/applicants throughout the admissions process in a variety of programs and activities.

A typical Visits with the viBe program provides a broad overview of the Full-Time MBA program. Each event is usually a half day and provides insight to daily life as an MBA student. Each session includes a tour of Van Munching Hall, an informal luncheon with the Smith viBe and current students, an overview of the Full-Time MBA Program and joint degree programs, the admissions process, life at Smith and the opportunity to sit in on a class.
