Alumni Perspective

EMBA alumni testimonials
Monica Logan, WG'03

“When I talk to people visiting the program, everyone wants to know is: Is it worth it? How hard is it? What is Wharton like? Certainly it is worth it, but you don't want to underestimate the amount of time you have to put into the program. This will become a significant part of your life for the next two years. What you put into it is what you will get out of it. If you want to learn and to achieve the highest level of excellence, Wharton will be invaluable.”

Financing Your MBA Education

The MBA program is a significant investment in your future. Whether you are receiving sponsorship that covers all or most of your tuition fees, or are financing your education independently, in this section you'll find information on ways to fund your MBA.

The program tuition fee covers tuition, books and program-related housing and meals. The section also includes information on payment schedules and deposit fees for the Philadelphia and San Francisco programs.

Whether you are self-sponsored or supported in part by your organization, the Wharton Loan Program provides all students admitted to Wharton with access to a favorably priced loan program.

Most students receive some financial sponsorship from their organizations, either full support or partial. However, self-sponsorship is also an option for non-Fellows applicants.

If you are funding some or all of your tuition, you may want to look into some additional funding sources.
