the entrepreneurship concentration teaches you some good skills. it will not, however, train you to start a business. you can learn laws about IP, venture capital finance principles, negotiation, some management theory, and pricing strategies, among other things. it’s definitely a cool program, but it’s new (the newness is why it can only be a 2nd concentration). while there are great resources for budding entrepreneurs, the culture at Wharton is definitely promoting toolness on wall st.

if you’re actually interested in entrepreneurship from a technical area, you may want to look into engineering… if you want to start a non-technical business, then i think you’re hopeless :-)
