Global Opportunities

Every student is encouraged to take part in an international experience during their time at Wharton, whether through study abroad, service-learning projects, club trips, or research programs. Going abroad provides unparalleled opportunities to learn languages, experience different cultures and economies, discover new strengths, and gain a more sophisticated global perspective.
