Penn Wharton China Center
A vibrant hub for cutting-edge knowledge and innovation in the Greater China area.
Sharing scholarship and innovative ideas
Located in the Central Business District of Beijing, the Penn Wharton China Center builds on Penn’s long history of collaboration with China in research and education.
What We Do
The Penn Wharton China Center opened its doors in 2015 and builds on Penn’s 200-year history of collaboration with China in research and education.
PWCC provides on-the-ground support for programs and collaborations between Penn’s 12 schools and many academic, government, and business partners throughout China. The Center supports:
- Penn-based programming, like Penn Global Seminars and China Education Initiative courses;
- Key stakeholder events, such as Forerunner China, an award-winning Penn pre-orientation program for incoming Chinese international students and their families;
- Non-degree “Executive Education” programming; and
- Communications outreach to alumni and stakeholders in China.
The Center also provides critical logistical (e.g., visa, travel, and event planning) support to members of the University traveling to China.
Who We Are
Our team, with a presence in both Philadelphia and Beijing, is responsible for leading the PWCC and fostering collaboration and opportunity across the University and its stakeholders.
