Wharton School, Lauder Institute Offer Dual-Degree Global Program for Multilingual Students

The University of Pennsylvania’s Lauder Institute, together with the Wharton School, will train MBA/MAs in politics, economics, business and culture as part of a new dual-degree Global Program, according to Wharton Magazine.

The new Global Program is like a “startup” within the Lauder Institute, according to Wharton Magazine. Students will study still-evolving aspects of the global political and economic system, such as international capital flows, the rise of sovereign wealth funds and China’s emerging dominance.

Professor Regina Abrami will direct the new program, which admitted its first three students as part of Round 1 of Wharton’s MBA admissions. With Round 2 now underway, Abrami hopes for six to eight students to make up the first Global Program class, which will begin in May 2013.

Abrami came to Wharton and Lauder from Harvard Business School (HBS) and is now a senior lecturer in the political science department and a senior fellow in the management department as well as director of the new Global Program. At HBS, she also helped launch globally-focused initiatives, including a “Doing Business in China” elective course and HBS’s global immersion programming, through which 400 students participate in 11 country-specific immersions during the winter session.

The Global Program will include classes on intercultural negotiations, international trade and the international legal order, which will take the place of language classes Lauder students take as part of that school’s other tracks. Global Program students must be proficient in two languages.

Cornell Johnson Glitch Delays Admissions

In a pre-Christmas letter to current applicants, Cornell Johnson Admissions Director Christine Sneva admitted that the school’s transition to paperless review of applications has caused a delay in the admissions process. 

Adcom will begin reading Round 2 applications in January, after the winter holiday break. 

Round 2 applicants can expect to receive interview invitations throughout January and February.

Sneva did not say whether the original decision notification date for Round 2 – which is posted as February 20, 2012 – will change, nor did she share details about any changes to deadlines for Johnson’s Round 3 or 4.

Johnson is one of several top business schools that have recently shifted to paperless review of applications, including Wharton School, MIT Sloan School and UCLA Anderson School of Management.
