The Wharton influence is pretty apparent at Penn. Almost every subject imaginable has a class related to the business aspect of that field. For example, Penn offers Business Chinese, Engineering Entrepreneurship, etc.

Defining “business and more” experience

I’m very fortunate to be a part of the M&T program, where I get exposure to both business and technical classes. Through M&T, I now have a greater understanding of the intersection between business and engineering.
