Every day journalists are called upon to articulate a range of issues to help their audience make informed decisions. For over 40 years, the Wharton Seminars for Business Journalists have provided nearly 2,000 members of the media insight from Wharton faculty into topics such as financial markets, accounting principles, corporate strategy, and the global economy.

The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is proud to be a leader in helping journalists build a foundation of business and economic knowledge upon which they can draw as they communicate these complex issues to their readers.

We encourage journalists to apply to the Wharton Seminars for Business Journalists. Financial aid opportunities are available.
