Health Care Management

Overview

The Health Care Management program of University of Pennsylvania draws on a rich variety of electives within the Health Care Management Department, other Wharton Departments, and courses across the university. They also benefit from an interdisciplinary faculty based in Wharton, the Perelman School of Medicine, and other Penn schools and departments, along with adjunct faculty with extensive practical experience.

Wharton Health Care majors are unusually well-qualified for careers in management, consulting, and investing in diverse areas within health care space, including health care delivery, services, managed care, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, information technology, and entrepreneurship. 

The Health Care Management major differs from others at Wharton in that:

• Students must choose the major at the time of application to Wharton, and

• The major integrates academic and professional development, helping students to obtain summer and permanent positions.
