Why Wharton EMBA - Key Differentiators

Hope this helps with Wharton Goals Essay 1 + Contribution Essay 2.

• Exact same program as the FT program – not watered down at all – for good or for bad.
  
  
• Global Business Week (destination block week type deal) & up to 3 Global Modular Courses. Arguably the most international EMBA in terms of programming.
  
  
  • GMCs are 3-7 day classes with a specific theme in various relevant locations. For example, Peter Fader hosts marketing GMC “ Customer Centricity course in Sweden & Finland each year, culling best practices from Nordic countries.

•  Arguably best program for twin goals of developing leadership & analytics skills. Concentration in Business Analytics.
  
  
• Executive Coaching and Feedback Program is mandatory and continuous throughout the program, unlike any other program. This can create common ground across students.
  
  
• P3 (Purpose, Passion, and Principles) is unique as a kind of EMBA version of GSB’s “touchy feely” and these small groups can become pretty tight by the end of 5 weeks.
  
  
• Most industry diversity among US programs creates a richer experience &  greater optionality
  
  
• Bicoastal so network is spread throughout the US – only Ivy out West (fwiw).
  
  
  • This fact makes The Venture Lab national in scope with lots of alums. (Arguably venture mentoring is behind Booth/Polsky Center & MIT/Martin Trust, though)

Wharton is trying hard to shift from a finance-school branding to entrepreneurship so if you mention VIP/VIP-X entrepreneurship Kool-Aid in your essays, bonus.

• Concentration in Healthcare Management – lots of alumni depth here because of HCM major for full-timers. Now offering HCM concentration for EMBA as well.
  
  
  • Yale has greater % of class for provider side; Wharton competes with MIT on biotech/pharma
    
    
• Residential – and housing is included in tuition.
