When deciding whether or not the Texas MBA is right for you, we strongly recommend scheduling a campus visit. Visiting campus can help you get a feel for what it would be like to be a McCombs student as you interact with current students, faculty and staff and experience the UT campus and city of Austin.
Planning Your Visit
We recommend that you plan your campus visit for the time that is most convenient for you - no matter what point in your application process that may be. Campus visits are primarily designed as a tool to help you determine if McCombs is the right fit for you; therefore, those planned after your application is submitted are just as valuable as those that take place during your application preparation. For the most relevant campus experience, we encourage you to avoid planning your visit during times of the year when students are not on campus (i.e. winter break, spring break, summer). The interaction you receive with current students adds significant value to your visit through the class visits they host and stories they can share about their MBA experience to date.
Coffee Chats Around the Country
During the summer and over holiday breaks current Texas MBA students are spanning the country hosting Coffee Chats to share what makes the Texas MBA at McCombs one of the premier MBA programs in the country. These chats are a great opportunity to come out and enjoy a cup of joe while you learn more about the Texas MBA experience from someone currently in the program. More information on Coffee Chats will be available in early summer.

Campus Visits/Attend a Class
Campus/Class visits are offered on Mondays and Thursdays throughout each semester. You can sign up to attend either a morning or afternoon campus visit. Due to space considerations in MBA classes and to maintain available options to our volume of guests, please limit your request to one Campus Visit (either a.m. or p.m.). Spring class visits will run from January 30th until May 3rd; there will be no classes from March 5-16th due to Spring Break. You can maximize your visit experience by combining your Monday/Thursday option with a Friday event. Check the visit calendar for events that accommodate your plans.

Lunch is included and followed by an optional tour. Click on the date to register for that session.

Texas MBA Women’s Forum
The Texas MBA Women's Forum event at the McCombs School of Business offers you the opportunity to meet many of our future female business leaders currently enrolled in the Texas MBA program, attend a class, meet faculty, and share alumni experiences. Additionally, you will gain knowledge about the admissions process, discover career opportunities, grasp the global experience, and picture yourself as a Texas MBA. This year's event has passed.

Texas MBA Diversity Forum
Our annual Texas MBA Diversity Forum is an opportunity for qualified applicants to learn more about the benefits of an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin, the strengths of the McCombs program, and how business school will ultimately affect their ability to become exceptional business leaders. While the Diversity Forum is open to everyone, African American, Hispanic American, and Native American applicants are especially encouraged to attend. This year's event has passed.
