Careers FAQ

The following are Frequently Asked Questions about careers. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.


What career resources will be available to me as a student and, later on, as a graduate?
Career support in the MBA Program for Executives focuses on issues at your current workplace and long-term career development. First-year students can work one-on-one with the program's adviser on group effectiveness and career development. Second-year students who are self-sponsored, or who have the permission of their sponsoring organization, may take advantage of resources offered through MBA Career Management. All alumni have equal access to the resources accessed through Wharton's alumni portal.

When can I contact the on-campus recruiting services?
After completing the first year of the program, students who are self-sponsored, or who have the permission of their sponsoring organizations, can work with a senior associate director of Wharton's MBA Career Management to make use of the career search and recruiting resources available to MBA students.

What kind of results have past graduates experienced? How has the program had an impact on their careers? Are there data on salaries and job titles for students and graduates?
The best way to get a feel for the impact of the Wharton program is to hear what graduates have to say. Wharton does not track salary statistics on its graduates.

Can I get in touch with recent graduates from my field or company during the admissions process?
If you are interested in talking with a graduate of the program, please contact us with your request.
