Greg Chow, WG'05
“When I approached my employer about pursuing an MBA, I received full endorsement for a part-time program. My division is relatively new, and I was the first person to be sponsored. My employer has been very supportive, giving me the time needed to attend the program, without taking it out of my personal or vacation days, and allowing me to choose the transactions I take on at work.”

Sponsorship — traditional, fellows, and self-sponsorship — is a requirement of students admitted to the Wharton EMBA program. It ensures that all students will have the time and resources to maximize the value of their experience in our closely integrated program. This is true whether you are being financially sponsored by an organization or are an independent consultant interested in self-sponsorship.
There are three types of sponsorship, each with slightly different admissions requirements.
Candidates with at least 8 years of work experience who receive full or partial financial support from their organizations.
Employer-sponsored candidates who have less than 8 years of work experience and/or are under 30 years of age.
Self-employed candidates and those who do not expect to receive financial support from their employers.
