The EMTM Advantage

Penn Engineering + Wharton >> Integrated Knowledge / Immediate Application

  1. The best of both worlds. An Ivy League university, Penn is a center of innovative research and education. Penn Engineering is the cradle of ENIAC and a pioneer in biosciences and other emerging technologies. The Wharton School, the first collegiate school of management, is one of the world's leading business schools.
  2. Integrated curriculum. This is not half an engineering program and half a business program. EMTM was the first graduate technology management program to emphasize the integration of multiple technologies. It is engineered to prepare leaders to manage both technology and the process of innovation.
  3. A crucible for learning. At EMTM, you join a group of talented, highly motivated peers who come together for intense weekend learning sessions. The residential component creates opportunities for interaction and networking with faculty and students who bring a wide range of experience and passion for both business and technology.
  4. Flexibility. Business and technology are vast fields of study. EMTM offers opportunities to tailor the program to specific technologies and areas of business. The schedule, too, can be adjusted for students who cannot make a full-time Friday/Saturday commitment.
  5. Value, now and in the future. By working and studying concurrently, you can apply and test new tools and insights back at work to return immediate value to your organization. You also build a lasting personal and professional network and a lifetime affiliation with EMTM and Penn that will add value throughout your career.

“EMTM gives you a greater awareness of tried and true techniques and principles for business management. It gives you an appreciation for the rapid pace of technological change, helps you determine the potential disruptions those changes may have on your business model, and provides you with the knowledge and capabilities to execute a strategy to position your business where it needs to be in the years ahead.”
