ACI Executive Education Partner Profile: Wharton

The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania is a long-time, valued partner of Albert & Company International. Wharton offers Executive Education courses in Finance and Value Creation, Innovation, Leadership, Marketing and Sales, Senior Management, and Strategy and Management. They also offer a strong Executive MBA program.

Located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Wharton School has offered an innovative approach to Executive Education for over 60 years. They work with individuals who are interested in furthering their own skills, as well as with companies and organizations that might wish to offer Executive Education to a larger group.

Wharton takes pride in their Integrative Learning Technologies and their global perspective. While many courses are offered in-person, Wharton also utilizes an online portal called Wharton Direct, which allows participants to interact with faculty, staff, and other students outside of the traditional learning environment. They can also access and share course materials using this portal, allowing them to be truly mobile.

Wharton recently opened applications for Strategic Value of Customer Relationships, a new eight-week, online-only course focused on helping executives discover the true value of customer data so they can sell more effectively to existing customers and find new customers with similar behavioral tendencies. Peter Fader, a world-renowned Marketing Professor and co-director of Wharton’s Customer Analytics Initiative, will lead this course.

Wharton faculty members are distinguished leaders in their fields. David Reibstein, William Stewart Woodside Professor, Professor of Marketing, is the co-founder of Bizrate.com and is a marketing expert who has taught at Harvard Business School and Stanford University, in addition to serving as a visiting professor at INSEAD. He has received more than 30 teaching awards, including being named by Business Week as the “pick of the B-school crop” of professors. These are just two examples of the quality of faculty you’ll find at Wharton.

The Aresty Institute of Executive Education is located in the Steinberg Conference Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Meals are served in this conference center, and there are plenty of fine restaurants to explore in Philadelphia. Those choosing to stay at the conference center will experience the same quality found in a hotel.
