Wharton students - are you able to skip a given day / classes generally speaking? Or is there something with mandatory attendance that would not allow this? For example, attending a Sunday evening wedding party back home and not being able to come back until Monday evening (missing Monday classes)

Generally fine - not all classes have mandatory attendance, and of those that do most will let you miss at least 2 classes without penalising you for attendance/participation.

Just check the course syllabus before picking classes to make sure your classes aren’t super strict / don’t have any in-class exams on that date.

Yeah usually - some classes have a min threshold attendance (like auto fail if you miss >50% of classes) - but you can avoid signing up for anything too strict, and generally missing a handful of classes won’t do much to your grade.

e.g., basically everyone takes two days off for US Ski trip

You’ll be fine. Wharton isn’t super strict on attendance generally. It id good to check syllabus / plan ahead to make sure you’re not missing a quiz but if you don’t care about grades then honestly it doesn’t matter much

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
