<p>So, there's the Engineering</a> Entrepreneurship Program <a href="within%20Penn%20Engineering">/url</a> and the [url=<a href="http://www.upenn.edu/fisher/about/index.html%5DJerome">http://www.upenn.edu/fisher/about/index.html]Jerome</a> Fisher Program in Management & Technology.</p>

<p>Obviously, they're different programs and focusing on different things, but could somebody elaborate on what the differences are exactly in both what the focus on and what career options they would lead to?</p>

<p>it seems- from what i read- that the Engineering Entrepreneurship Program is just a couple courses for engineers that want to learn a bit about the business side of high-tech ventures, offered to undergrad and grad students. Undergrad students need to be at least a junior to apply. You have the option of earning a minor in engineering entrepreneurship in addition to your engineering degree.</p>

<p>The Jerome Fisher Program is a highly selective program that you apply into as a prospective undergrad freshman, where only 50 are accepted. It is a dual-degree program where you will earn FULL degrees in both Economics from Wharton School and either a BS/BSA from Penn Engineering. You will probably be learning with about an equal intensity in both economics and engineering.</p>
