MBA Resource Guide 2009-2010

The Wharton MBA program opens doors to greater knowledge and a global, collaborative network.

The broad-based core curriculum is complemented by a wide selection of electives. Classes in the core develop essential business knowledge, while electives allow students to delve into areas of personal interest and build a major from one of 17 areas of study. Classroom learning combines with hands-on experiences to foster business leaders with the knowledge, communication prowess, and teamwork skills essential in today's organizations.

We encourage you to explore the academic and co-curricular resources available within Wharton, at the other schools at Penn, and through our partnerships domestically and abroad.

Faculty Perspective

"With my MBA students, there is a real motivation to build professional skills and practical capabilities. I like having students who are vocal and willing to express their thoughts. And I like the fact that students play an active role at Wharton. For example, we have an operations club that students created... They've made presentations at faculty meetings. These students are not sitting back and watching — they are incredibly active."

— Karl Ulrich, Professor of Operations and Information Management
