Cohort Experience

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.

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, a bowling tournament, 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.

Planned activities continue into sophomore year, enabling students to meet cohort members from other class years and expand their personal networks.
