Collaborating with Global Academic Institutions
Wharton Executive Education is committed to extending its educational offerings to executives around the world. We are proud to collaborate with select universities to bring the Wharton Executive Education experience to the local business community. Our joint programs provide mid- to senior-level executives the opportunity to engage with Wharton’s faculty experts on a variety of global and regional topics.
Universities engage with Wharton in a variety of ways:
- “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, these programs allow Wharton to join forces with leading academic institutions to design, develop, and deliver top executive programs which bring together best current thinking and regional expertise.
- Learning beyond the classroom: University Programs are often supplemented with experiential learning, company visits, and cultural activities.
Unique Solutions for Academic Institutions
- Deepening Core Concepts
The Nanyang Business School in Singapore and Wharton Executive Education have partnered to offer a 2-week program in Philadelphia in spring each year. Program participants include Nanyang’s Fellows and EMBA students, who are high-potential and current leaders from across the region. The program allows participants an opportunity to delve deeper into many important business concepts of today, including leadership, finance, technology management, strategy and innovation.
- Rewarding Top Talent
In May 2011, as well as in May 2010, Wharton Executive Education hosted 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 focused on key issues for finance professionals, from private equity and venture capital to the future of the financial services industry.
