Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology
Undergraduate | BS, BSE
The Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology is sponsored jointly by the School of Engineering and the Wharton School. The impetus for this joint-degree program came from the Board of Overseers of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. The Board of Overseers, a distinguished group of corporate executives and academicians, emphasized that an understanding of the fundamentals of engineering and technology is as essential to the background of future leaders in business and industry as is a sound knowledge of management principles. They pointed to the growing need for people who can bridge the management and technical disciplines. Undergraduate students enrolled in the Management & Technology Program earn two University degrees at the completion of their studies. Those pursuing the four-year program receive the Bachelor of Applied Science degree from the School of Engineering and Applied Science and a Bachelor of Economics from the Wharton School. Students who wish to become professional engineers can elect the five-year curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree and the Bachelor of Economics degree. The common goal for all Management & Technology students is the mastery of the technical and managerial skills necessary to define and solve problems in today's complex technological society. The structure of the joint-degree program gives each student considerable flexibility in meeting this goal. Particular attention is directed to the importance and processes of innovation in our technology-based industries.
