Penn & Wharton
Our historic Ivy League campus is large enough to offer world-class resources yet small enough to build relationships. From beautiful 19th century architecture to cutting-edge Huntsman Hall, built in 2002 and tailored to Wharton's specific technological needs, Penn and Wharton occupy a dynamic urban campus in University City, just a short hop from the energy of downtown Philadelphia.
Founded and chartered in the 18th century by Benjamin Franklin, Penn has a legacy of intellectual rigor and innovation that includes America's first medical school, first collegiate business school, first university teaching hospital, first journalism program, and first modern liberal arts curriculum.
Penn Campus
Wharton is one of 12 graduate and professional schools at the University of Pennsylvania, America's first university and a member of the Ivy League.
With its green lawns and landmark architecture, our beautiful West Philadelphia campus houses all of Penn's activities, from student life, athletics, and academics to research, scholarship, and cultural life. All of Penn's 12 schools are located within walking distance of one another. This geographical unity, unique among Ivy League schools, supports and fosters Penn's interdisciplinary approach to education, scholarship, and research.
Wharton students have full access to the resources of Penn. The campus' current resources extend from a new fitness center donated by Wharton alum David Pottruck, which is across the street from Wharton's Huntsman Hall, to a library system with almost 6 million books to a 269-acre campus with countless educational, recreational, and cultural opportunities.
Wharton Campus
Wharton is centrally located at the heart of Penn's campus. Known as "the Wharton Quad," the School's buildings offer state-of-the-art facilities and world-class technological and research resources.
In addition, through Wharton | San Francisco and our alliance with INSEAD, the leading business school in Europe, we extend our reach from Philadelphia toward the West Coast, and as far as Asia and Europe.
