> 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."
