What Recent Grads Say See All 13 Comments >

-The EMBA program at Wharton, San Francisco is rigorous and perhaps the best when it comes to educating the students. But education is not an end in itself. Unless the program gets bolstered by an active career management office, it will lose some of its appeal to the local Silicon Valley crowd who see the students from other local EMBA programs placed better in local firms.
