Understanding the Education Industry
Wharton Executive Education is committed to extending its educational offerings to executives around the world. We are proud to partner with select universities to bring the Wharton Executive Education experience to the local business community. Our joint programs provide senior executives the opportunity to engage with Wharton’s faculty experts on a variety of global and regional topics.
These partnerships meet the needs of both full-time MBA students and executives in short-term programs.
- "Wharton experience" for full-time and executive MBA students of foreign universities. Residential programs are often designed to complement a pre-existing curriculum and are held on the University of Pennsylvania's campus.
- Co-branded open enrollment programs for local executives, delivered on the University of Pennsylvania's campus and/or in the host country. Joining forces with leading academic institutions to design, develop, and deliver top executive programs brings together best current thinking and regional expertise.
- Partnership Programs are often supplemented with experiential learning, company visits, and cultural activities.
Featured Custom Education Program
In May 2010, Wharton Executive Education will host top students from the IEB (Institute for Stock Exchange Studies) in Madrid, Spain for an academic stay as part of IEB’s Master in International Finance program. Students will focus on key issues for finance professionals, from private equity and venture capital to the future of the financial services industry.
Serving as Academic Director of the program is Mauro Guillén, the Dr. Felix Zandman Endowed Professor of International Management at the Wharton School and Director of the Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Management & International Studies
This is an “alliance between what I consider the most prestigious business school in the world — Wharton — and IEB, which is, without any doubt, a leading financial education center in Spain and Iberoamerica. The Executive Program … will provide enormous technical value added as well as a very cosmopolitan vision to the students enrolled in the program.”
