The JumpStart P2MBA is a weekend immersion program to introduce and help prepare select working professionals for the process of applying to top business programs.

As a participant in JumpStart's P2MBA program, you can expect to the following:

  • Several networking opportunities and ability to learn more about top MBA institutions, including Fuqua, Booth, Stanford, HBS and Wharton, and Columbia from admissions representatives and alumni
  • Build a network of other aspiring MBAs to continue throughout b-school and beyond
