Entrepreneurship
(Second Concentration)
A secondary concentration in

diverse set of options for students to hone their
entrepreneurial skills. Entrepreneurship cannot
be a student’s only concentration at Wharton;
students must have declared a primary concentration.

secondary concentration.

environment, including human health and safety as well
as addressing a range of policy issues. This
concentration provides an in-depth foundation for those
interested in pursuing careers in the growing
environmental sector of the economy, whether in private
business, government or environmental consulting. It
takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on faculty
and courses from several Wharton departments. Students
may pursue additional course work on environmental and
technological risks in parallel with the Wharton
program through the School of Arts and Sciences and the
School of Engineering and Applied Science. The Director
of the Environmental Management Program administers
this concentration.
