Students of Color
Wharton is committed to diversity among MBA applicants and students. Each year, we hold special events that encourage candidates from all underrepresented groups to learn more about Wharton's programs and our close-knit community. Our clubs and student associations actively reach out to prospective candidates interested in an MBA. This creates an active and supportive environment for underrepresented racial/ethnic groups throughout the admissions process, during their two years at Wharton, and once they become alumni.
