We work hard to make students feel part of an energetic and fun community.
Transitioning to college can be daunting, but the Wharton cohort system provides you with a supportive, small community of students that you get to know through a variety of shared experiences.

First Year
During freshman year, each cohort of approximately 60 students is led by upperclassmen cohort directors, who plan activities for the group and encourage members to get to know one another.
Each cohort will take Wharton 101: Business and You together in the fall semester. Freshmen also participate in cohort activities, such as the Cohort Cup competition, a scavenger hunt, the Winter Whartonland gingerbread house competition, and movie nights.
In addition to your cohort directors, all freshmen have the opportunity to be paired with a cohort mentor, an upperclassman who serves as a peer mentor and friend.
