The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (/ˈhwɔːrtən/ WHOR-tən) is the business school of the University of Pennsylvania, a private Ivy League research university in Philadelphia. Established in 1881 through a donation from Joseph Wharton, a co-founder of Bethlehem Steel, Wharton School is the world's oldest collegiate business school.^[5]

The Wharton School awards Bachelor of Science in Economics degrees with a school-specific economics major, with concentrations in over 18 disciplines in Wharton's academic departments. The degree is a general business degree focused on core business skills. At the graduate level, the Master of Business Administration program can be pursued standalone or along with dual studies leading to a joint degree from its law, engineering, and government schools.

In addition to its tracks in accounting, finance, operations, statistics, and other academic departments, the doctoral and post-doctoral programs co-sponsor several diploma programs in conjunction with other schools within the university.^[6] The college has also been a pioneer in non-degree Executive Education programs, which involve custom learning experiences that lead to academic enrichment.
