The Wharton EMBA is designed for those with more than 10 years of professional job experience, with an average of 12 years of work experience at the time of enrollment. However, you don't have to wait until you've worked for ten years to apply for the EMBA. We've worked with a few clients who were successful despite having only 7 or 8 years of experience. This page covers the fundamentals of the Wharton EMBA programme and all you need to know about whether it's appropriate for you.
