Strong Community
When you join the Wisconsin School of Business, you aren't part of your Evening MBA cohort alone. You become a Badger, and part of a network that can open doors wherever alumni encounter one another—whether across town or around the globe. It might be hard to explain what makes being a Badger so special, but it’s easy to feel it.
Our Student Body
Students in the Wisconsin Evening MBA program come from a variety of locations and backgrounds. They work at a wide range of firms and organizations. In each class, public and private companies, non-profits, family-owned businesses, and governmental units are represented. The members of this diverse community all share one thing: the belief that being a Wisconsin MBA will transform their lives.
People come from near and far to attend the Wisconsin Evening MBA program. Although many students are within an hour’s drive of Madison, others come from Chicago, the Fox Valley, Iowa, and beyond. A significant number of students enrolled in the Evening MBA program come from the greater-Milwaukee area. Their participation is made easier by the luxury coach service we provide between Milwaukee and Grainger Hall on class nights.
Influential Guest Speakers
The Wisconsin Evening and Executive MBA Programs Speaker Series features noted business leaders, highly regarded academics from relevant fields, and others with unique expertise, sharing their knowledge with students. These events are widely attended and an outstanding opportunity for networking.
Student Representation
Students on the Evening MBA Student Advisory Board partner with the school on ways to continuously improve the program and enhance its value to students. Students use the analytic skills they are honing in the classroom to benefit their own education and to build an even stronger program for the classes that follow.
Let's Have Fun!
The Evening MBA Social Leadership Committee plans events for students, their spouses, and families. Along with all the hard work and dedication, our students still like to have a good time.
Connections
“We plan lots of activities outside the classroom. It's great because you hang out with people that you wouldn't necessarily find yourself drawn to otherwise, but you come to realize that all of these people are so interesting, and have so much to offer. It's really energizing to come and interact with the other students twice a week.”
