Before their arrival, every student entering their first year at Wharton is placed in one of 10 cohorts comprised of approximately 60 students each. Students will take Wharton 1010: Business and You in the fall with their STEP cohort, and, through a variety of additional programming, first-year and transfer students will get to know each other better and expand their personal and professional networks.
Each STEP cohort is supported by upper-level student leaders who provide mentorship and plan programs for their cohort. These leaders are a great resource for new students who can answer many questions and concerns incoming students have as well as connect them to the right resources.
