Representative comments from students and alumni on what's best about this MBA program

The emphasis on seeking and accepting stretch experiences. The way it normalized and celebrated stepping out of your comfort zone and the supportive culture it bred as a result.

Very strong programs in specific industries allowed you to meet and become friends with people you will continue to interact and do business with in the years ahead.

Faculty with real-world experience and/or deep research backgrounds, combined with the ability to captivate students with interesting in-class lectures and discussions.

The peer group in my class enhanced all of the formal instructions and programs. The relationships I formed will last my entire life, and we continue to collaborate and assist each other.

Wharton attracts global talent and offers strong interdisciplinary opportunities (easy to take classes in other schools and/or enter into a dual-degree program).
