THE WHARTON WAY
Collaborate Across Disciplines and Divides

Hear from Dean Erika H. James on why Wharton is initiating collaboration across disciplines, divides, and beyond.

Throughout our 145+ year legacy of success, Wharton has pursued outcomes where the sum can be greater than its parts. From this perspective, we’ve built an array of multifaceted partnerships spanning academic backgrounds and industry foci. Collaborating across disciplines and divides means serving as the primary convener of thought leaders to share perspectives, tackle challenges, and produce solutions that benefit us all.

"Whether we’re engaging in technological, medical, or societal problems, business has a role in society, and partnering across the different academic disciplines is an important way to demonstrate that. By engaging in collaboration, and thinking about academic possibilities that are coming together through different domains, we can really ensure that the next generation is gaining a unique perspective through multiple lenses."
