MBA Student Exchange

Between 100 to 150 MBA students travel to study at a partner school each year. This integrated exchange with INSEAD allows Wharton MBA students to explore interests in Europe and Asia.

MBA students can enroll for coursework across four locations worldwide — Wharton in Philadelphia and San Francisco, and INSEAD in Fontainebleau and Singapore. Credits are linked between the two schools. Each school offers its career management services to participants from the partner school, enhancing the global opportunities for all MBA graduates.

Since the inception of the Alliance in 2001, more than 700 students have participated in the exchange. During the academic year 06/07:

  • 58 INSEAD MBA students went to Wharton.
  • 44 Wharton MBA students went to INSEAD:

    • 24 to the Fontainebleau campus.

    • 20 to the Singapore campus.
