Wharton MBAs interested in careers in the energy sector span the industry spectrum – from interest in clean technologies and renewables to oil and gas. Students can take newly designed energy-specific courses at Wharton or from the University of Pennsylvania’s Environmental Sciences Department and School of Engineering. The Career Management office supports students and employers across the entire energy industry.
Meet the Wharton Energy & Climate Club
The Wharton Energy & Climate Club has over 150 active members focusing on careers in energy. The Club provides a great platform for networking opportunities, educational events, and career development activities for students. Employers have the opportunity to engage directly with this population and can help share thought leadership and industry expertise.
Participate in the Wharton Energy Conference
