New Student Orientation
On behalf of Jessup University, New Student Orientation (NSO) welcomes all new students and their families into our community. Through a variety of activities, games, and informational workshops, students will begin to build relationships, familiarize themselves with the campus, and feel like a part of the WJU family.
We believe NSO plays an integral part of each student’s college experience, which is why we have dedicated three days for this program. We highly encourage all new students to attend NSO as it is a foundational piece to their success as a student, both academically and socially.

Testimonials
It is very common to have an MBA degree these days so getting it from a good school is extremely important for me and that is why I chose Jessup University. The location of the campus is close to the Silicon Valley where there are vast opportunities for MBA students. This program gives me a platform to expand my horizon and at the same time not settle for an online course. Once enrolled in the program, I have established great relationships with the professors who are here to help us in every way they can. We also had some great speakers from the tech industry come to class and talk to us and that for me has been the best experience so far in my life.
The faculty and staff are kind, helpful and friendly. Also, I made really good friends and always look forward to going to school. One of the great things about this school is that, it gives the students an option to work and study without sacrificing their career just to go back to school. I now have an amazing opportunity to intern at a Financial firm where I am able to implement what I study in class. Not to forget, the food and snacks that are provided during the days of our classes is such a noble thing to do. I am so proud to be a part of this family and I really can’t ask for more.
-Akarshini Gotla WJU International MBA Student
My name is Vi Pham, and I am a senior Psychology major from Hanoi, Vietnam. This is my second and last semester at Jessup University, and the time I spent as a student here has definitely been an amazing experience for me. I have made many great friendships with students who are truly genuine, friendly, and authentic. The faculty and staff at the university has been a strong support for me as an international student, and I am incredibly thankful for them and their help to me when I had questions. I enjoy being challenged academically and still be able to receive help from the faculty when needed. They are passionate about their teaching subject, and truly want to help their students succeed in class. These are some of the things I personally like about Jessup, and I am grateful I had the chance to be a student here even for only one year!
