Wharton_School_of_Business

The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania ( WHOR-tən) is the business school of the University of Pennsylvania, a private Ivy League research university in Philadelphia. It is the world's oldest collegiate business school, established in 1881 through a donation from Joseph Wharton.The Wharton School awards Bachelor of Science in Economics degrees with a school-specific economics major, with concentrations in over 18 disciplines in Wharton's academic departments. The degree is a general business degree focused on core business skills. At the graduate level, the Master of Business Administration program can be pursued standalone or along with dual studies leading to a joint degree from other schools (e.g., law, engineering, government). Similarly, in addition to its tracks in accounting, finance, operations, statistics, and other academic departments, the doctoral and post-doctoral programs co-sponsor several diploma programs in conjunction with other schools within the university. The college was a pioneer in so-called "Executive Education," which involved custom learning experiences that lead to academic enrichment, however with no standing.
