基础系列课程的目的是向学生介绍重要商务概念的基本知识，让学生能初步运用沃顿商学院教授的商务语言流畅表达。 在线课程以沃顿商学院在校园讲授的课程为基础，不过在线课程更简短，更注重培养基础技能。对于在校园就读的学生，沃顿商学院提供的课程包含对相关课题更深入的研究、融入度更高的互动体验、教师与学生互动、课外活动、职业生涯管理等。

在商务基础专项课程中表现优异者能免除沃顿商学院申请费（265 美元），不过由于选拔过程竞争激烈，这只是影响您能否被录取的因素之一。 申请沃顿商学院学位课程能否获批取决于许多因素。 有关沃顿商学院申请流程的更多信息，请点击此处。 (http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/admissions/index.cfm)。
