Thinking Globally
Wharton's international emphasis begins at the admissions office; 44% of full-time MBAs come from outside of the U.S. Upon converging in Philadelphia, the global mélange is maintained by a variety of international opportunities. Wharton has partnerships with 14 business schools around the world in an exchange program where Wharton MBAs can study for a semester. Several academic offerings have an international component, including the for-credit Wharton Global Immersion Program that attracts about 100 first-year students a year to meet and learn from top business executives in a new region of the world each year. For students who are looking forward to a future beyond the borders of the U.S., the school offers global career treks organized by students and MBA Career Services. The Asian career trek, pictured here, is one of many to global destinations, including those to Europe and South America.

Teamwork
Wharton's strong push for teamwork manifests itself far beyond orientation. Each learning team is matched with a Leadership Fellow—a second-year MBA student involved in mentoring the team, debriefing the group, and resolving conflict. At the end of the first year, students bring the experiences they've had in their learning teams into the classroom, where they take a core course in team building and team leadership.

Pre-Penn Life
A short summer awaits new MBA admits into Wharton, but the monthlong pre-term session offers welcome refresher courses and an opportunity to bond with fellow first-years. In addition to brush-up classes on accounting, microfinance, and other business basics, students are organized into "learning teams," groups of six that meet for the entire first year of B-school. Two days of the pre-term program are dedicated to a learning team retreat, when students escape to distraction-free upstate New York to bond as a team.
