<p>Is Wharton good with entrepreneurship say for someone who would like to start a business right out of college?????</p>
<p>i can't really answer ur question</p>
<p>but my question is...</p>
<p>is some sort of entrepreneurship club or something readily available to maybe start a business with a group of other students? (without actually majoring in entrepreneurship)</p>
<p>wharton is pushing it, but the program is neglected. You can't major in it.
Try babson college if you want to start your own business....it's top notch.</p>

<p>Wharton - Penn in general - is really a place that encourages entrepreneurship. I think a lot of it is technology focused (a lot of Wharton/Engineer interaction in the Weiss Tech House), but there are always tons of competitions that go on through clubs or through the undergraduate schools that encourage entrepreneurship and selling ideas.</p>
<p>its definitely not a major aspect of wharton tho
Entrepreneurship (second concentration only)
it can't even be ur main concentration</p>
<p>but u can spend your own time in outside clubs/competitions with it i guess</p>
<p>ya, whaton wants kids to be entrepreneurs, but just about everyone joins the finance train.</p>
<p>i don't believe that entrepreneurship can be fully taught in a classroom; with that being said, Penn and Wharton have many extracurricular opportunities to get some hands-on entrepreneurship experience (which I think is the only real way to fully develop entrepreneurial skills)</p>
<p>the entrepreneurship concentration teaches you some good skills. it will not, however, train you to start a business. you can learn laws about IP, venture capital finance principles, negotiation, some management theory, and pricing strategies, among other things. it's definitely a cool program, but it's new (the newness is why it can only be a 2nd concentration). while there are great resources for budding entrepreneurs, the culture at Wharton is definitely promoting toolness on wall st.</p>
<p>if you're actually interested in entrepreneurship from a technical area, you may want to look into engineering... if you want to start a non-technical business, then i think you're hopeless :-)</p>
<p>there's also an engineering entrepreneurship minor that's quite popular.</p>
