“We have found that Wharton MBAs have the courage to question assumptions and drive for results, while demonstrating intellectual flexibility, respect for others, creativity, and imagination. Wharton MBAs join Microsoft with a strategic mind, strong customer vision, and a passion for their discipline - whether it be marketing, finance, or corporate strategy and development.”
Wharton MBAs pursue a wide range of high-potential careers, in areas from private equity and real estate to public interest, technology, and media/entertainment.
This diverse range of interests across the community creates a rich network of friendships and connections, from your first job after graduation to the career advancements or industry changes in your future. You will find a support network for your individual interests, both at school and after you graduate.
