Interest has been growing in innovation management as a field of study and as a career path. We have seen a rising number of MBA students who wish to create an individualized major around this topic, rather than pursuing a standard major at Wharton. To provide guidance to students who wish to create a coherent set of courses to pursue such an individualized major, the Mack Institute has compiled a list of courses that we believe have a good fit with the topic or innovation management. Interested students should refer to the MBA program office’s guidelines around individualized majors. Students looking for a faculty sponsor should feel free to contact the Mack Institute directly.
