About Wharton West and The Wharton School
Founded in 1881 as the first collegiate business school in the United States, the Wharton School has approximately 4,600 undergraduate, MBA, and doctoral students, more than 8,000 participants in its executive education programs annually, and an alumni network of more than 80,000 worldwide. The executive MBA program was one of the first programs launched at Wharton West, the Schools campus in San Francisco. Executive MBA students attend classes on alternate weekends and during two week-long sessions in the summer. Students based in San Francisco have the option of spending a semester at Whartons Philadelphia campus, and Philadelphia-based students have the opportunity to study at Wharton West. Because Wharton students live and work together during focused on-site sessions, they have an opportunity to forge close connections with classmates as well as to foster critical teamwork skills.
