Wharton is an incubator for innovation, with many dual and interdisciplinary programs for business across disciplines. Several specialized graduate and undergraduate joint- and dual-degree programs with other globally recognized schools combine business education with specialized depth of knowledge in another area of interest. Students from these programs often bring special insight to both fields of study and have wide-ranging career impact.

Undergraduate Programs
Undergraduate interdisciplinary study is integral to the Wharton and Penn experience — every Wharton student follows an innovative curriculum that integrates a full business curriculum with liberal arts, teaching real-world skills in leadership, innovative thinking, and problem solving. Students can also extend this experience through the following interdisciplinary programs from Wharton and Penn's other schools.
