Seminars for Business Journalists
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 Peter Conti-Brown, Olivia Mitchell and Paul Fischer.
San Francisco Seminars
The Seminars visit West Coast locations including Wharton San Francisco, which draws business leaders to its MBA for Executives program, executive education programs and outreach activities.
International Seminars
Seminars held outside the U.S. offer journalists access to Wharton faculty who customize their sessions to the locale. Past sessions in London, Hong Kong and Madrid were held in conjunction with Wharton Global Forums, large-scale business conferences, to which Seminars attendees are also invited.
The variety of journalists attending creates a rich environment for learning alongside the faculty of the Wharton School.

“The Seminars experience has been hands down the most informative training program I’ve been part of—bar journalism school itself.”
