Wharton Academic Year Programs

Through Academic year programs (September – May), students and educators engage with Wharton from classrooms, homes, or experiences offered in locations around the world. Academic year programs take place either online or in-person, giving participants the chance to continue their high school studies while also exploring various fields of interest with Wharton. Programs include the Global High School Investment Competition, online courses, and short, on-location global learning opportunities.
