The University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business next year will open a campus in San Francisco to allow business students to observe industries in the heart of the high-tech economy. Wharton West will provide an executive MBA program and will give students in Philadelphia an opportunity to spend a semester in Silicon Valley. The new campus will be linked electronically to the traditional campus. Many Wharton students head West after graduation, says the school's dean, Patrick Harker, who estimates that 30 percent of last year's MBA class went West. The West is an interesting example of economics for students to study, says Harker. "The Western region as a whole has a remarkable ability to reinvent itself," says Harker. "It's an incredibly entrepreneurial, energetic, and adaptive environment." (Investor's Business Daily, 12 December 2000)
