Knowledge for Business Journalists
The Wharton Seminars for Business Journalists have provided several thousand members of the media insight from Wharton faculty into topics such as financial markets, accounting principles, corporate strategy and the global economy.
Philadelphia Seminars
Attend a Philadelphia flagship program, held annually on the University of Pennsylvania campus at the Wharton School’s Jon M. Huntsman Hall. Learn business concepts from such renowned Wharton professors as Jeremy Siegel, Olivia Mitchell and Paul Fischer.

“I loved every part of this experience. It was so refreshing to get back into the classroom and spend three days soaking up expertise from Wharton faculty… It was also such a pleasure to connect with so many incredible journalists from other outlets! I highly recommend this program for any business reporter.”
