The Power of Wharton
Wharton has earned a global reputation by educating the best minds in business for over a century. Our identity was forged by founder Joseph Wharton, who had a vision for a business school that focused on rigorous analysis, actionable knowledge, and responsible leadership. You will become a part of that vision by:
Expanding Your Business Leadership Skills
Wharton’s research and curriculum are focused on driving productivity, growth and social progress. The students and alumni you will be exposed to throughout your education and career cannot compare to other programs.
Harnessing the Power of Data
Wharton’s reputation as “the finance school” is well earned. The rigorous and relevant data analysis that drives Wharton Finance is true of the entire School. Wharton analytics fuels data-driven decision making, helping you to become a visionary and pragmatic business leader in any career you choose.
