"The General Management Program is not just about the ROI, which is infinite. It is the ROL’ — the return on life, on your career. You come for the learning itself, then come away with many things you can implement. But beyond the professors, you also learn from the set of peers that you meet and build a network with. You just can’t put a value on it."
Josephine Nguyen
White House Fellow, Executive Office of the President
"Ive been able to take some of the frameworks and tools that we learn here and apply them immediately back to projects into projects that I’m leading."

"My experience completing the General Management Program was nothing short of exceptional. This program targeted and developed specific skills that executives require to thrive across all industries. I believe the curriculum and how the professors apply it to actual scenarios companies go through is what makes Wharton’s faculty among the best in the world. Reflecting on the past two years, I am grateful for not only the education but for the opportunity to meet and get to know my classmates. Everyone knows Wharton has arguably the best professors, staff, facilities, etc. What isn’t in the course description is the benefit from taking courses with executives from some of the largest, most successful companies in the world. Being able to learn from my classmates, share experiences and develop a network of top-level executives has proven to be invaluable. It is bittersweet that this experience has come to an end."

"I started my business in 2001. We provide quantitative analytics services to buy-side and sell-side firms on Wall Street. As the business started to grow, it became necessary to hone some skills and gain the knowledge to run the business better. For me, the General Management Program from Wharton was a better option over a regular MBA. I chose GMP from Wharton over Harvard’s or University of Chicago’s comparable programs because it was very similar to the MBA curriculum and taught by the very best professors. The program is also customizable to your preferences. In my case, that was finance. I chose four core programs in operations, strategy, marketing, and finance. For electives, I chose two programs in finance. Another important fact that resonates for me is that the GMP program is very experiential. For example, in the leadership program, we got to lead different teams and experiment with new leadership models in dynamic and volatile situations, and in one of my finance programs we analyzed and optimized companies’ capital structures. I plan to complete this program in less than a year. It’s an honor and privilege to become a Wharton alumnus on completion of the program. It goes without saying that GMP from Wharton will not only sharpen my management skills, but also help grow my business."
