Students

Strong Community

Within Wharton's large, dynamic student body is a group of students exploring careers in marketing. These passionate students form a tight-knit network that can help explain the nuances of marketing across different industries and companies. These peers will challenge you in your marketing electives via case discussions and group assignments. The Marketing Club serves as the foundation for students to help each other prepare for interviews, and day-on-the-job visits. Not surprisingly, some of your best friends will come out of this network.
