WH 0010Pre-First Year Program in MATH/WRIT/ECON/MGMTCOMM
This course will be an introduction to the semester-long integrated economics course consisting of two parts— microeconomics and macroeconomics—that Wharton students will take during the Fall semester of their first year. The PFP course, which will consist of lectures, assignments and two exams, will focus on selective topics from microeconomics as well as macroeconomics. In the microeconomics part, the PFP course will focus on an analysis of consumer behavior (specifically, utility analysis, indifference curves framework, demand elasticity), cost structure of firms and their pricing, and output behavior under perfect competition.

WH 150 provides an introduction to all stages of the research process for business topics. In the first third of the course, we discuss theory building, hypothesis development, and research design choices particularly in casual research. In the second third, we discuss data collection methods (e.g., surveys, experiments, case studies and fieldwork) and the use of archival databases. This part of the course emphasizes the interplay between research design and sampling/data collection methods. In the final third of the course, we introduce data analysis and interpretation, including methods for converting raw data into measurable constructs suited to statistical analysis.

A concise email, a persuasive pitch, a strong presence in a meeting —these are the skills that shape careers. But success in the U.S. doesn’t always translate abroad. What works seamlessly in a New York boardroom may fall flat in Singapore or require a different approach in Berlin. In a world where business spans industries, borders, and cultures, the ability to adapt how we communicate is essential for influencing decisions and driving meaningful outcomes. This interactive, practice-based course equips students with foundational business communication skills that are critical in the early stages of their careers and beyond. Through case studies and simulations, students will learn how to present ideas persuasively, navigate professional hierarchies, and respond to different cultural and organizational norms. The seminar culminates in an immersive international experience, where students will apply their learning in real-world settings. Through company visits, discussions with executives, and cultural exploration, students will gain firsthand insight into how communication practices vary across industries and regions. Travel serves as a powerful mirror—challenging perspectives, revealing cultural blind spots, and strengthening the ability to lead and collaborate. By the end of the course, students will not only have a strong foundation in business communication but also the practical skills and global mindset to succeed in any professional setting —whether in the U.S. or abroad. Limited to Wharton students.
In this course, students will learn communication frameworks and best practices for pitching innovative ideas in a way that persuades others to appreciate their value. The course will focus on the unique challenges entrepreneurs face when communicating their ideas, vision, and strategy – both externally and internally. Students will practice developing clear, concise, and compelling startup stories, from pitches to pivots. Practice contexts include pitching a startup to potential investors and pitching a new idea to an internal leadership team. Students will use provided business ideas as well as have the option of using their own business ideas for assignments.
