The Wharton EMBA Is the Full Wharton MBA

Wharton was founded in 1881 as the first collegiate business school, and that spirit of innovation still drives us today. With the Wharton MBA for Executives, you get the full Wharton MBA — the same degree, innovative curriculum, and world-class faculty as in Wharton's globally acclaimed full-time MBA program — in a specially designed executive format.
