Discovering an Exceptional Virtual Classroom
We invented a top-of-the-line virtual classroom experience without sacrificing the quality of Wharton’s world-class education.
With students now tuning into Wharton’s learnings from countries that range from Ghana to Hong Kong, WAVE truly extends Wharton’s world wide reach to a new and existing audiences like never before. Since March 2023, participants include those from the MBA Program for Executives, Wharton’s Executive Education program, and the Global Youth Program.
By fostering this virtual and dynamic engagement between instructors and students, Wharton both enhances the educational experience and transcends geographical limitations. The technological advancement offered by WAVE breaks open new possibilities for interactive teaching methods, guest lectures, and real-time discussions, providing a more immersive and enriched learning experience.
“High-quality academic programs can successfully extend beyond the traditional in-person classroom experience. By coupling best-in-class virtual instruction with meaningful residential learning opportunities, we can extend [Wharton's reach] to even more leaders who are poised to grow economies and transform industries across the globe.”
—Erika H. James
Dean of The Wharton School
