The Wharton EMBA Difference

Continuing Innovation

Wharton was the first collegiate business school in 1881, and that spirit of innovation still defines us today. From our widely emulated learning team model to our ground-breaking programs, classroom tools, and research technologies, Wharton defines the leading edge of business education.

Business Knowledge

Wharton's 250+ faculty members – the largest business school faculty in the world – create the new ideas that transform businesses and governments around the world. And they bring that advanced knowledge into the classroom, so Wharton MBAs take the lead in innovating the new ideas of the future.

Breadth and Depth

Wharton's breadth and depth of faculty allows us to offer more courses and programs than any other business school. So you have more opportunities to acquire both fundamental and specialized skills – plus the flexibility to pursue the areas that most interest you. You'll leave Wharton with the high-level knowledge and range of skills to master new challenges and build tomorrow's business practices.

Leadership in Action

At Wharton, you learn leadership by doing it. Our hands-on learning methods provide a training ground in advanced leadership, from learning teams and field projects to the innovative learning simulations that Wharton pioneered and now licenses to many other business schools. No matter how much management experience you have, you will gain the tools to help take your career to the next level.

Global Alumni Network

Wharton has the largest alumni network of any business school - 80,000+ alumni in 140 countries. Your connections begin with the friends and contacts you make during your two years in the program, and then continue throughout your career. Wherever you are in the world, you can call on a Wharton graduate for help, advice, and support.

Engaged Community

Working together with professors and high-impact executives from a wide range of industries, you learn not only from your formal classes but also from the perspectives and experiences of other students - and from your frequent out-of-class conversations with Wharton faculty members. Our community interacts in the collaborative, high-energy environment created by the executive MBA program's uniquely intensive format.
