Wharton was founded in 1881 as the first collegiate business school, and that spirit of innovation still drives us today. We offer a distinctively collaborative MBA experience, unparalleled academic and career resources, and a commitment to learning and personal growth.
Wharton's 250+ faculty members are the world's largest, most published, most cited business school faculty. They work directly with leading companies and policy-makers around the world to bring real-world, real-time knowledge directly to Wharton's classrooms and research centers.
Your Wharton experience centers on state-of-the art Huntsman Hall, designed in 2002 for our distinctive learning system and innovative learning technologies - including 48 high-tech classrooms, 57 group study rooms, a 300-seat auditorium, and a café and lounge exclusively for MBA students.
Your first-year learning team brings together classmates from around the globe, working to achieve common goals. You explore different leadership styles in a risk-free training ground, central to Wharton's MBA education for over 20 years, that promotes leadership and collaboration.
The University of Pennsylvania's historic, Ivy League campus, founded in 1740, is large enough to offer world-class resources, small enough to build relationships, and close to the energy of central Philadelphia and the east coast, from Washington DC to New York City to Boston.
Wharton offers a truly international environment, with MBA students from 70 countries and experiences such as the Global Immersion Program, which organizes multi-week trips to meet business leaders in such regions as Africa, South America, Greater China, and Southeast Asia.
Wharton MBA students make an impact around the world, creating business plans for top international organizations in our unique Global Consulting Practicum, helping them create strategies to enter or improve their position in the U.S. market.
Wharton's 100+ student clubs and conferences, with 5000+ participants each year, give you opportunities to develop leadership skills, expand your knowledge of specific business areas, and make connections to high-level industry leaders.
At Wharton, learning is something you do. Leadership Ventures — just one of our many venues of active leadership learning — put students into hands-on team experiences, in such areas as mountain-climbing, the Marine Corps base at Quantico, and the Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg.
The value of your Wharton MBA only begins with the two years you spend here. Your connections to Wharton's 80,000+ alumni - including world leaders in corporate, non-profit, and government organizations - give you the power to succeed throughout your career and around the world.
Wharton's high-level conferences and forums attract industry, government, and non-profit leaders from around the world, involving MBA students in cutting-edge research and knowledge, on a wide range of business and financial topics, that shapes global business practice both today and tomorrow.
Wharton gives you frequent opportunities to hear directly from the the world's business and community leaders, with perspectives on their careers and the challenges of their industries. Visiting executives in MBA classrooms help place critical management issues in their real-world, real-time contexts.
Founded in 1881 as the world's first business school, Wharton celebrates its 125th anniversary by renewing its commitment to three founding principles: ongoing innovation, depth and breadth of intellectual expertise and global outreach, and active engagement with real-world business practice.
