Welcome to this week’s Trivia Tuesday, in which we examine special offerings that differentiate the leading MBA programs from their peers. Today we’re taking a look into the Clear Admit School Guide to INSEAD in order to share with you an excerpt about the school’s exchange opportunity with the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business.
“Through an alliance with the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, one of the leading MBA programs in the U.S., INSEAD students can also spend one period in the city of Philadelphia taking elective courses at Wharton.”
“Space in this exchange program is limited to just 35 students per period. Those who wish to spend a semester at Wharton must complete an application and bid on this opportunity using their elective points. INSEAD students in the January intake may enroll in the Wharton exchange in either P4 or P5; because Wharton’s summer vacation coincides with P5 of the September intake, however, September students may only travel to Philadelphia in P4.”
“INSEAD students spend just two months in Philadelphia, about half the length of a Wharton semester, which means they may only enroll in half-length electives. While this greatly limits students’ elective choices, full access to Wharton’s Northeast U.S. network and the services of its Career Management Office makes the exchange a valuable opportunity for INSEAD students hoping to work in the U.S. upon graduation.”
