Benjamin Katz leads a double life. ■ As an undergraduate in the top-ranked University of Pennsylvania Nursing School, Katz is a semester or two from learning the basics of delivering a baby, and he knows he can count on his classmates to help if his grades start to slip. ■ A c ross campus, at the equally pre s t i g i o u s W h a rton School, he’s a budding entre p re n e u r, learning about health-care management from the financier’s viewpoint, and he knows competition is the key to not falling behind. ■ Katz, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is one of four students entering their junior year as the inaugural class in a joint u n d e rgraduate program with the two schools. If all goes according to plan, they will emerge from Penn armed with one of the most powerf u l u n d e rgraduate health-care educations in the country. ■ Unique Education A new joint degree from Pe n n Nursing and Wharton gives students specialized skills for tomorrow’s w o r l d . Innovation fulfills needs The undergraduate program was developed to p roduce a new generation of health-care leaders.
