Future of Finance
Since its founding, Wharton has been known the world over as “The Finance School.” Today, the School’s alumni, students, and faculty are taking on global financial challenges and opportunities in alternative investments, fintech, impact investing, and financial inclusion. Through curricular innovation and industry thought leadership, Wharton is redesigning and redefining finance education at top business schools.

Joshua J. Harris Alternative Investments Program
The finance curriculum at Wharton is evolving as rapidly as the pace of change in the world it studies. The fundamentals of finance have been joined in recent years by new courses in private equity, infrastructure investing, hedge funds, and shareholder activism—all of which have attracted great student enrollment. Ongoing curricular innovations in finance will bring together Wharton’s leading faculty with alumni who have played a key role in bringing alternatives to the forefront of the global financial system and world economy.

“Our new course content on technological disruption in finance and emerging asset classes has attracted enormous attention from students. We still have the fundamentals of finance, but these new developments in the curriculum are a big part of what Wharton students and faculty do now.”
