Student Perspective

Executive MBA Visit Perspective
Joy Quinn, WG'07

“It was a rainy January day when I visited. I sat in on a marketing class and an operations class. Looking at the interaction and listening to the types of questions that were being asked was the seller for me. I had read a lot of great things about Wharton, but just coming here and feeling the atmosphere, I immediately knew this was where I needed to be.”

Visit the Wharton EMBA Campus

The best way to judge whether Wharton will be a good fit for you is to learn more about it firsthand. We encourage you to spend at least a half day with us — either before or after submitting your application — to sit in on a class, have lunch, and ask questions of current students.

Due to the high volume of visitors, we prefer that you schedule a combined visit and interview as early as posssible.

Contact us so that we can explain to you what activities or events are available to you while you are on campus, and we can make the necessary arrangements for you.

Typically, classes are held on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the calendar year, in both Philadelphia and San Francisco. There are occasional extended weekends that include Wednesday and Thursday classes, and some holiday weekends when no classes are scheduled.
