\"Wharton<\/p>\n

The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania will expand worldwide access to its MBA Program for Executives by launching its first-ever global cohort<\/a>, with a program start date of May 2023. The move makes Wharton the first elite business school to launch a synchronous online MBA program\u2014an inevitability predicted in Poets & Quants<\/a> last fall.<\/p>\n

During the 22-month program, Wharton faculty will leverage the extensive online teaching skills they gained while guiding hundreds of students through the pandemic.\u00a0 Those accepted into the new cohort will represent business professionals from Asia, North America, Latin America, Europe and beyond for whom a blended online\/in-person learning format opens up greater accessibility to Wharton\u2019s world-class faculty and network.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new Global executive MBA cohort is 25% in-person, 75% live online with professors but 100% a Wharton MBA,\u201d said Brian Bushee, Senior Vice Dean of Teaching and Learning at the Wharton School.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to bring together our most diverse cohort of learners yet \u2013 business professionals whose location, work, or personal situations preclude them from extensive travel but who share a passion for learning from Wharton faculty and from each other.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Virtual instruction will take place in the early morning or late evening hours aligned to eastern standard time. That way, students can operate around work schedules and take part from multiple different time zones.<\/p>\n

In addition to this online community, students will also spend significant time together in person. The program will have \u201cresidential weeks\u201d at Wharton\u2019s Philadelphia and San Francisco campuses, as well as numerous international learning trips.<\/p>\n

Throughout the program, students will receive support from concierge-style classroom managers, direct regular contact with senior faculty who are distinguished experts in their fields, and access to Wharton\u2019s global network of 104,000 alumni\u2013currently the largest of any business school in the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe evolution of the Wharton executive MBA is a reflection of our entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to innovation in educational pedagogy,\u201d said Erika James, dean of the Wharton School.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe past two and a half years have proven that high-quality academic programs can successfully extend beyond the traditional in-person classroom experience. By coupling best-in-class virtual instruction with meaningful residential learning opportunities, we can extend the reach of a Wharton MBA education to even more leaders who are poised to grow economies and transform industries across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wharton MBA Program for Executives today educates more than 230 professionals each year, offering the same academic rigor and faculty as Wharton\u2019s full-time MBA program. Wharton\u2019s EMBA students earn the same degree as full-time MBA students.<\/p>\n

Peggy Bishop Lane, vice dean of Wharton\u2019s MBA Program for Executives, explained that faculty will customize their class materials to meet the unique needs of a new Global cohort.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur faculty will tailor their content and discussions for a more global audience, ensuring the curriculum is positioned to capitalize on the experiences of the students and prepare them for the challenges they will face in the next chapter of their careers.\u201d \u2014Vice Dean Peggy Bishop Lane<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe are making investments in new technologies to enhance the virtual experience and engage students in and out of the classroom, regardless of their location. A priority of this program is for students to form the strong relationships that are a hallmark of the Wharton executive MBA experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
