Choose the Option that is Right for Your Team

Leverage your projects with Wharton to enhance the data literacy and analytics culture across your team and organization. Collaborate with world-class faculty and students to answer your company’s most-pressing business questions using machine learning and AI. Select two student projects (one per year) or one faculty research project.

Student Project

Derive deep insights and actionable ML models, acquire a new perspective for your business challenge, and establish recruiting pipeline for students.

Analytics Accelerator

A Wharton team works with you to formulate a precise research question and dataset. A curated multidisciplinary team of Wharton and Penn students works alongside a Wharton faculty or mentor, and your company champion, to deliver innovative models and solutions.

Faculty Research Project

Gain access to 3,700+ academics, create innovative business tools, and work alongside faculty.

Faculty Research Projects usually span 12-24 months and range from using one to several highly customized academic teams. Wharton faculty work with you to identify and scope a project, recruit top academic researchers, and facilitate meetings and project checkpoints until research completion.

“At Wharton, our teaching and research define the cutting edge in using data analysis to inform decision-making. Our students and faculty are applying these methods in real time to real problems, meeting the growing needs of organizations seeking talented people who can turn raw data into actionable business intelligence.”

– Eric T. Bradlow
