More about our Executive MBA (EMBA) program:
An executive MBA program, also known as an EMBA program, is designed for students who are further along in their careers and want to continue working full-time while in school. Schedules vary among programs, but most offer part-time formats like weekend classes. At Wharton, EMBA students earn the same MBA degree as full-time MBA students.
With the same outstanding faculty, the same access to exceptional professional resources, and the same degree as Wharton’s full-time MBA, there are now three ways to earn the Wharton MBA in a format for working professionals: in Philadelphia, in San Francisco, or in Wharton’s new Global format.
