Wharton will be adding international courses in China, Israel, and South Africa. The school will also be adding concentration courses in global finance and management. The recent shift towards an international focus has already been successful at schools like Georgetown University. In addition, Wharton will offer graduates one free week of executive education courses every seven years.

The high price tag of the offer is offset by the increased strength of an already powerful alumni network.
