EMBA Schedule & Full Academic Calendar

The Wharton Executive MBA is an intensive program which allows you to earn the full Wharton MBA in a modified schedule to accommodate your full-time career.  Students in our San Francisco and Philadelphia cohorts attend class sessions in-person every other weekend, with several extended sessions throughout the duration of the program. Students in our Global cohort follow a similar schedule, however they attend virtual, synchronous class sessions every other weekend rather than traveling to one of our campuses. Review the full calendars below for a more detailed understanding of the program schedule.
