With 19 research centers and nearly 250 standing and associated faculty , Wharton professors are advancing business knowledge in diverse fields and working with business leaders around the world. They bring these insights into the classroom in the form of a steady stream of new courses and curricular innovations. For all their experience, Wharton faculty are very accessible and enjoy interacting with students. Professors lead in the classroom and work with students and teams on individual projects.
Every professor has office hours and students can set up an individual appointment.
Professors are not only there to help with problems in class but also offer assistance with other classes, areas of research or career advice. Teaching assistants do not conduct lecture sessions at Wharton. In large introductory classes with as many as 120 students in a lecture, teaching assistants sometimes staff the smaller recitation sections. They also assist professors and offer supplementary office hours. Upper-level courses are much more intimate, with seminars limited to 25 students.
