2 Introduction to Wharton and Penn THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA History The Wharton School is one of four undergraduate and twelve graduate and professional schools of the University of Pennsylvania . The University was founded by Benjamin Franklin and Philadelphia Quakers, and traces its origins to 1740 . Although it carries the name of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, “Penn,” as it is commonly known, is not a state university . One of the eight universities that comprise the Ivy League, it is a private, coeducational, and nondenominational institution . As one of the country’s first institutions of higher learning, Penn has also consistently initiated advancements in teaching and research . Among its distinctions are: the first university school of medicine in North America; the first teaching hospital; the first business school; the first law school; and birthplace of the first electronic digital computer (ENIAC) . Undergraduate Schools • Arts and Sciences • Business (Wharton) • Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) • Nursing Graduate and Professional Schools Arts and Sciences • Business (Wharton) • Communications (Annenberg) • Dental Medicine • Design • Education • Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) • Law • Medicine • Nursing • Social Policy & Practice • Veterinary Medicine University Enrollment Undergraduate: 10,300 (approximate) Graduate and Professional: 11,000 (approximate) THE WHARTON SCHOOL Wharton Today In 1881, American entrepreneur and industrialist Joseph Wharton had the most radical idea in the history of business: the establishment of the world’s first collegiate school of business at the University of Pennsylvania . And this was only the beginning of the Wharton School’s history of leadership . In addition to writing the first business textbooks and establishing the first research center at a business school, we have produced Nobel Prize winners, founders and leaders of the world’s top companies, ambassadors, heads of state, and a U .S . Supreme Court Justice . Wharton is home to one of the most published and most cited business school faculties in the world . We have created groundbreaking theories and best practices that have driven business and economic growth the world over — as well as the people who put that knowledge to work . Today, we serve the global business community as the most comprehensive source of business knowledge in the world . Our unique heritage and deep commitment to three foundational values continue to inspire the institutional mission of the School: to apply unparalleled intellectual resources to prepare business leaders who fuel the growth of industries and economies throughout the world . A continued commitment to innovation: Wharton’s innovative environment continues to generate the knowledge and ideas that are the building blocks of global business practice . Our faculty includes more than 250 of the world’s leading experts in 10 academic disciplines and countless subspecialties . The School’s research enterprise is supported by 20 research centers and initiatives . We bring innovation into the classroom with new programs including technology enhanced learning tools and specialized interdisciplinary programs in global business, the life sciences, technology management, retailing, and ethics, among others . Breadth of expertise and global outreach: The expertise of our faculty creates opportunities to gain in depth knowledge in virtually every major challenge facing global business today — in programs across the entire spectrum of business education . As part of the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League institution, we also share vast resources in business law, ethics, public policy, technology, and the life sciences — more than any other business school . As the largest global business school, Wharton reaches the broadest international audience with an ever-expanding range of programs and services . Wharton’s global reach includes 88,000 alumni, as well as more than 1 .8 million readers through Knowledge@Wharton . And Wharton operates around the world with two campuses in Philadelphia and San Francisco, and bases in Europe and Asia . Deep engagement with leading businesses and policy makers: Wharton’s impact in the classroom and the world is fueled by our long-term relationships with leading companies and global policymakers . Every year, we work with more than 1,000 companies, including more than two-thirds of the Fortune 500 and leading global firms, as well as government agencies around the world . This engagement in research, academic programming and curricular design enables Wharton to bridge the gap between theory and practice . It makes Wharton a unique environment where new knowledge grows in a real-world, real-time context .
