MBA Experience Weekend

Freeman School of Business / Room 480

Freeman’s Executive and Professional MBA programs are designed for accomplished professionals advancing without pausing their careers. Evening and weekend formats, a contemporary curriculum that integrates AI and strategy, and flexible pathways enable immediate application at work and durable gains beyond graduation.

Our two-day immersive experience brings the Tulane MBA into focus for those interested in working full-time while returning to graduate school. You’ll engage in a strategy lecture paired with a hands‑on case study, hear alumni outcomes across industries, and compare program formats to determine the best fit for your professional and personal commitments. You will also leave with clarity on admissions timing, recommendations, and financing options as deadlines approach.
