Current Students
Academic life at Penn is distinguished by several things: an emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, a focus on cutting-edge research, and an interest in applying knowledge constructively. These also are the hallmarks of the LSM program. As an LSM student, you will be engaging in a curriculum that navigates between the College of Arts & Sciences and the Wharton School. You will be participating in lectures and seminars that address the complex issues at stake in managing advancements in the life sciences. You will be interning in business and laboratory settings, seeing how scientific endeavors are conducted, financed, and managed in the “real world.” And you will be enjoying all of the associations and resources that a premier research university like Penn can offer.
Various pages on the LSM website will help you keep track of program requirements, locate research opportunities on campus, learn about student clubs, and investigate summer internship options. You also can link up with the main Penn website for university-wide news, information, and student services.
