Hi,
I am wondering if anyone can help me with any inputs on Wharton EMBA vs Berkeley-Columbia EMBA. Have you considered both programs and if you decide on one of them, what draws you there? Thanks!
Here are some of the facts that I have considered, but I would appreciate if there are current students or alumni who can help to shed more lights and details of the program. Thanks so much!
Wharton EMBA
- more expensive
- better brand name
- more focused on finance/quantitative?
- less resources availability since the program is not at the U Penn campus, but at its own location in downtown SF ( i meant career services, speaker series program, etc)
- schedule is 2-3 days every 2 weeks
Berkeley-Columbia EMBA
- less expensive
- brand name is not as well known as Wharton
- better program on entrepreneurship/innovation?
- better resources since the program is at Haas campus (career services, speaker series program, etc)
so far my impression from my application process is that the Berkeley Columbia EMBA program is better run than the Wharton EMBA program... the class visit is better organized, the package and information shows that too
- schedule is 3-4 days every 3 weeks with about one block in NYC every term (more traveling)

I am pondering same thing as I just found out I was accepted to both programs for 2011.
Wharton is #1 EMBA program and has great reputation, but Berkeley/Columbia is not too shabby as well, both in top 5-1- in the country.

hi odessit19, congratulations on your admittance!
i'm on the same boat. i have been accepted in both programs too. currently leaning to wharton because of the schedule works a little better for me. how about you? would you mind sharing some of your thoughts?

. I actually received a UPS email saying that there will be a packet tomorrow. So I called the admissions and said, "hey, i can't wait, tell me now." Not in those words, but pretty much.
